Abstract

The applicable age and reliability of peep-show test with receiver were investigated in young children. In 328 cases (328 eares: mean hearing level 96.6dB) consulted us under 3 years of age from 1971 to 1984 puretone audiometry was regularly tested at least for 3 years.<br>The results obtained as follows:<br>1) The threshold of peep-show test with receiver could be measured under 3 years of age in 86% of all cases. The remainder of children were not able to be measured because of repeating the test at too long interval or rejecting the usage of receiver.<br>2) The difference between the first and the last threshold of peep-show test with receiver was under ±10dB at 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz and 4kHz in 72.4-87.7% of all cases. If children had no problem except for hearing impairment and their hearing ability were fixed, it was concluded that most of their thresholds of peep-show test with receiver can be measured reliably under 3 years of age.
