Abstract

The hearing of infants suspected of being congenitally deaf was evaluated by means of the method of computer averaging of electroencephalographic responses to repetitive auditory stimuli. Twenty-two infants were evaluated, and 12 were found to have hearing loss. The results of EEG testing correlated highly with those gained by clinical evaluation of the infants' behavior in response to auditory stimuli. EEG audiometry appears to be a valuable adjunct in the early diagnosis of auditory defect.
