behavioral eval
gold standard
direct measure of hearing
measures response of entire auditory system - outer ear to cerebral cortex
BOA measures
sucking
only for infants birth - 6 months who are capable of sucking
CPA stimuli
start with speech to capture attention (40-50 dB)
closed set word lists
NUCHIPS
WIPI
ANT
CRISP
level to test childs performance to assess day-to-day situations
50 dB HL conversational
35 dB HL soft
BOA age
0-6 months
when is BOA valuable
if sucking responses are below hearing levels suggested by ABR
might repeat ABR and take BOA into consideration when programming HAs and in children with ANSD
ability to recognize stimulus being presented and to identify it by repeating, pointing, or writing
NUCHIPS
2 - 5 yo
MLV
50 monosyllabic words
4 picture sets
functional auditory assessment
monitor childs auditory progress
functioning in real life
important to measure with HAs
teacher/parent questionnaires are before and after HAs
VRA age
5-36 months
VRA measures
conditioned head turn
using positive reinforcers
conditioned reinforcers are more reliable responses
AZBio/BabyBio
CIs
sentences
gives context
ANT
MLV
severely impaired kids
see if young children can perceive speech or temporal patterns
SAT age
0-36 months
VRA age
24-36 months (sometimes can start at 18)
VRA positioning
reinforcers 90 degrees azimuth
full head turn from midline
word recognition
ability to recognize stimulus being presented and to identify it by repeating, pointing, or writing BUT at a loud steady level
open set
preferred in determining how long child performs in normal speech settings
allows to see functional aspect of child's speech
SRT age
12 months +
24 months - 5 years -> can be done at 18 months if applicable
CPA
one toy at a time
perform motor task
word recognition evaluates
child's ability to understand speech at supra-threshold levels
minimal pairs test
CI
2 pictures that differ by one phone
different in one contrast
