WEBINAR: New electrophysiological methods to assess hearing function in young children using engaging stories with Melissa Polonenko – Thursday, March 23RD AT 12 PM ET

Join us on Thursday, March 23, 2023 at 12 pm EST as Melissa Polonenko, Assistant Professor, Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota presents New electrophysiological methods to assess hearing function in young children using engaging stories.

Key Take-Aways:
  1. Many hearing skills develop in early childhood but we usually have to wait until children are able to talk and perform longer behavioral testing before we can assess these skills.
  2. Electrophysiological measures that use continuous speech can be measured and may provide insights into hearing function during development and in more complex environments than our traditional objective measures.
  3. Having audiobook-based ABR tests may provide useful information for screening hearing loss and validating hearing aids in young children in the future.
