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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Having audiobook-based ABR tests may provide useful information for screening hearing loss and validating hearing aids in young children in the future.
