You can read the full transcript below.

This is how to perform aided cortical testing on a young child or infant.

Unaided cortical testing is performed in the same way only without the hearing devices in place.

For aided cortical testing, it's important to ensure that the patient’s hearing devices are working, switched on, and worn correctly.

The child should be seated comfortably 1.5 m away from the free field speaker in the same place used for the initial calibration.

They can be seated alone or on their adult's lap.

The patient should be awake and engaged during testing.

To keep children and infants engaged, the clinician can present toys or cartoons.
