Hearing Loss study: Pure Tone Audiometry
Official title Preschool Hearing Screening
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06058767
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see whether a single‑stage otoacoustic emissions (OAE) test is as good as the usual two‑step test (pure‑tone audiometry plus OAE) at detecting hearing loss in preschool children.
- Who it's for
- Preschool children in community‑based preschool centers.
- What's involved
- All children will get both hearing tests, but the order is random. If a test or a teacher flags a problem, the child will get more detailed testing to confirm hearing loss.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts until the child completes the screening and any follow‑up tests; most children will have a few visits at their preschool and possibly a clinic visit for follow‑up.
