“…In an absent OAE response, there is less than 6 dB of separation between the OAE response and the noise, which is measured at an acceptably low level (Smith and Wolfe, 2013). Expression of DPOAE is significantly affected not only with presence of middle ear fluid, but also in cases of negative middle ear pressure without hearing loss (Ristovska et al, 2017).…”

Audiologic assessment of infants and young children with suspected hearing loss requires selection of differential diagnostic techniques that are age-appropriate and appropriate to the child's developmental capabilities.Objective assessment includes electrophysiologic and electroacoustic methods: otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem response, auditory steady-state response, tympanometry and acoustic reflex. The use of behavioural methods in audiologic assessment requires a response from the patient. Depending on the child's age, the following methods can be performed: visual reinforcement audiometry, conditioned play audiometry, pure tone audiometry, and speech audiometry.Audiologic assessment in infants and children provides estimation of auditory sensitivity, evaluation of the integrity of auditory system andidentification of possible intervention options in case of existing hearing loss. Early detection and treatment of hearing loss in childhood is essential to ensure optimal speech and language development in the early years of life and optimal school performance for older children.
