Hearing Test and Toddlers

My son had his hearing test and passed with flying colours. It was interesting to see how easy it is to perform this test with children. First they get a measure of how the ear is receiving sound, they put a small probe in the ear and send a signal. The ear will then vibrate and based on these vibrations,they get a graph of the results. If little "mountains" appear then the conduction is good. Next you go into the sound proof room and much like how they do an adults test they have sounds on one side or the other at different tones and pitches and loudness. The child looks toward the sound and is rewarded with a little toy playing drums. It was really neat to see because I have always wonder how they do the test in little kids who can't hold up their right or left hand. So one down and one more appointment to go this week. I feel relieved that he hears good, so when he doesn't listen to me he is just being two. Only 20 more years of that to go ha ha.
