The use of audiometry with evoked potentials allows discovering hearing loss in children without risk factors in 100% of cases in children under 3 years of age. The aforementioned confirms that parents of children between 18 and 36 months can perceive a hearing loss in children with risk factors in a greater percentage than audiometry, a statistically significant difference; Regarding children aged 0 to 18 months, with and without risk factors and in children from 19 to 36 months with risk factors, audiometry is the gold standard for hearing loss detection. Conclusion: the parents, with the appropriate training, can detect hearing loss with high precision, in children older than 18 months |
