Please suggest. What are the different audiometric test for hearing loss in kids. Kindly suggest clinic of audiometric test in Patna and Muzaffarpur.

Question

Evaluation of hearing for the child older than 3 to 4 years may include the following: Pure tone audiometry. A test that uses an electrical machine that produces sounds at different volumes and pitches in your child's ears. The child usually wears some type of earphones. In this age group, the child is simply asked to respond in some way when the tone is heard in the earphone. Tympanometry (also called impedance audiometry). A test that can be done in most healthcare provider's offices to help determine how the middle ear is functioning. It does not tell if the child is hearing or not, but helps to find any changes in pressure in the middle ear. This is a difficult test to do in younger children because the child needs to sit very still and not be crying, talking, or moving.
