1. hearing tests for children • objective testing • behavioral testing • hearing screening • auditory processing disorders

2. objective testing • the importance of early identification • neonatal hearing screening • the role of ABR & OAE • followup if ABR & OAE failed

3. objective testing • auditory evoked potentials • otoacoustic emissions • acoustic immittance (including acoustic reflexes)

4. behavioral testing • < 2 years • behavioral observation audiometry • visual reinforcement • tangible reinforcement

5. behavioral testing • visual reinforcement • visual reinforcement audiometry • conditioned orientation response

6. behavioral audiometry • > 2 years of age • conditioned play audiometry ( > 2.5 years) • traditional audiometry ( > 4 years) • speech audiometry ( > 3 years)

7. behavioral audiometry • speech audiometry • thresholds • speech awareness threshold • speech recognition threshold

8. behavioral audiometry • speech-recognition testing • age 3 & 4 • WIPI and NU-CHIPS • age 5 thru 9 • PBK • age 10 & above • adult tests

9. auditory processing disorders • symptoms • diagnosis • treatment and teaching strategies

10. hearing screening • outer/middle ear component • pure tone component • different procedures for different ages
