The child should respond by raising their hand when a tone is heard. For
younger children, making it a
“
listening game
” where they stack blocks or drop
a block in a bucket as they hear the tone, might put the child at ease, make it
more fun, and keep their attention longer.
Observe the child
’s response or non-response to the tone. Vary the length of
the tone and intervals between tone presentations to ensure the child is
responding to the sound and not just repeating the behavior. When the child
makes two correct responses, record
Pass and move on to the next frequency.
NOTE : More than one but no more than four presentations should be made at one
frequency. This provides a reliability check to the response. If child does not meet
this criteria, record
Refer and continue testing.
When one ear is completed, select the other ear L/R key and start the
screening process over.
Completion of Test
The test is complete when all protocol test frequencies have been presented and recorded
for both ears. If the child does not pass, repeat the screening or refer the child for further
audiometric examination.
The child has passed when both ears have been tested and pass criteria met.
Protocol recommendation
The above is an example screening protocol. Users are therefore recommended to
refer to State or Country guidelines.
