Objective methods of diagnosis hearing ioss in children during the first years of life

Objective: comparative analysis of objective hearing function examination methods in children and identification of the factors affecting examination results. We studied hearing in 473 children of 3 months - 5 years of age with sensorineural hearing loss and surdity. The control group was comprised of 30 children with normal hearing. Along with the standard clinical examination of ENT-organs, we performed tympa-nometry and reflexometry, examination of delayed evoked otoacoustic emission and reflection-source fre-quency otoacoustic emission, registered short-latency auditory evoked responses and auditory steady state responses (ASSR) inallchildren
