Subject: otoacoustic emission vs BSER vs ECoch vs Psychoacoustic evaluation From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Beno=EEt?= Jutras <jutrasb(at)ERE.UMONTREAL.CA> Date: Wed, 26 Feb 1997 07:57:19 -0500I'm an audiologist working with hard-of-hearing and deaf children in a rehab center. Recently, I saw a 2 1/2 year old girl who has abnormal BSER : wave I was present at 70 dBnHL in both ears and wave V was present at 105 dBnHL in the right ear and absent at 105 dBnHL in the left ear. BSER testing was done twice and the last time was in september 1996. There was no significant change between both evaluations. She had in august 1996 an ECochG and results showed that the responses were present from 100 dB to 65 dB in both ears. However, the latencies were the same at 100 dB than at 60 dB which is not normal. She had acoustic emission test and results suggested normal hearing sensitivity in the right ear and a mild hearing problem in the left ear. =46rom september to december 1996, I saw the girl for a psychoacoustic evaluation. Results showed she had a mild to moderately severe hearing loss in the left ear and a mild to severe hearing loss in the left ear. We proceeded with amplification even if it is not recommended when the acoustic emission are present. She has got the hearing aids in december 1996. Responses with the aids are good. The aim of this letter was to find out if there is other audiologist who had to deal with the same problem and what did you do???
