Abstract


Hearing loss presents high incidence, affecting around 3 out of every 1000 live births. When used and interpreted properly, provide a powerful method of obtaining reliable estimates of auditory sensitivity in infants, young children who cannot otherwise provide reliable results on behavioral tests, In this study 146 high risk infants having one or more risk factors between corrected age 3 to 6 months were included in the study.

 


Keywords
