1 Audiometric Configurations in Children Andrea Pittman, Ph.D. Arizona State University

2 Method Groups –6-year-old children –60-year-old adults Audiogram Selection Criteria –Right ear thresholds only –Thresholds for each octave test frequency (250-8000 Hz) –At least one threshold > 30 dB HL –Confirmed sensorinueral hearing loss by bone conduction audiometry –Air-bone gaps < 10 dB

3 Method Core Set of Audiograms –227 children –248 adults Analyses –Configuration –Asymmetry –Progression

31 Progression Change in Threshold (dB) Number of Thresholds

32 Summary Configuration –Children had a wider variety of audiometric configurations Asymmetry –More children had asymmetric losses and those asymmetries were more severe Progression/Fluctuation –Thresholds increased and decreased on subsequent audiograms

33 Frequency (Hz) Hearing Level (dB) The End
