Audiological Evaluation of the Pediatric Patient

GEOFFREY C. ROBINSON M.D.

This short, readable book describes the hearing evaluation of preschool children with communication disorders. The authors, an audiologist and an otologist, emphasize that in addition to peripheral hearing loss, other auditory pathology or additional problems (mental retardation, brain damage, psychological problems) may contribute to the communication handicap. They espouse the multiple discipline or team approach in the medical setting.

There are six chapters, four of which describe methods for individual and group hearing evaluation. Standard techniques of hearing evaluation are not applicable to very young children who cannot give a voluntary response to an auditory stimulus.
