What is a Ero scan?
Ideal for hearing screening programs, the ERO•SCAN allows for a quick assessment of the auditory system up to the cochlea with “Pass” or “Refer” outcomes. An excellent solution for screening newborn, infant, pre-school and nursery children.
Can an OAE detect conductive hearing loss?
An OAE screening can also detect conductive hearing loss. If the middle ear is blocked, the very quiet sounds will not be able to get through from the inner ear to the outer ear.
Is ABR test accurate?
ABR accuracy is excellent for detecting average sensorineural hearing loss at 2 and 4 kHz in excess of 30 dB, and the overall results for a wide range of hearing loss and ABR abnormality criteria can be conveniently summarized in terms of relative operating characteristics (ROCs).
What does an abnormal ABR mean?
An abnormal ABR may be a consistent finding with high frequency hearing loss or profound deafness, it may also be an indication that further testing is required. However, only the referring physician will be able to determine if further tests or procedures are required. Caring, Competence, and Credentials TM.
What is Bera and OAE?
Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and Brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA), are tests, when used in combination, can indirectly help diagnose the different types of hearing loss.
What can ABR detect?
The ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) test can be used to detect hearing loss. It checks your child’s brain’s response to sound. The test is mostly done on infants and children who may not be able to respond to behavioral hearing tests because of their age.
What does a failed OAE mean?
What do the results mean? The results are either present or absent. Present OAEs are consistent with normal to near normal hearing. Absent OAEs may be a sign of a problem. It could be hearing loss, wax in the ears, fluid or infection in the middle ear or a malformed inner ear.
