AUDIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT Many health authorities are now using auditory brainstem response (ABR) to examine the hearing integrity of at-risk infants from neonatal units. These techniques require the infant to be asleep or anaesthetized and are therefore most appropriate for young infants while asleep. Stimulus clicks are entered using earphones. Electroencephalographic recording is made to assess response. Problems include difficulty in distinguishing between purely high-tone hearing loss and overall hearing loss.

Enquiries are made via the social work area team or standby out of hours. The decision to place a child’s name on or take it off the Child Protection Register is taken at the child protection conference.
Some babies ‘hunt’ for stimuli, and this should be assessed and recorded using a ‘no sound test’. Some common pitfalls with the distraction hearing test are visual cueing where the rear tester or his or her shadow moves into the peripheral vision of the baby; tactile cueing by the breath of the tester when delivering the stimulus or the mother squeezing the child to encourage a response; auditory cueing such as wearing creaking shoes; and olfactory cueing wearing strong perfume may then turn the baby to the olfactory stimulus.
