Training in ABR
Bone Conduction ABR in a Newborn Baby
Description
This video demonstrates 4 kHz NB CE-Chirp® ABR testing via bone conduction on a 4-week-old baby. Her air conduction (insert earphones) results at the same frequency indicated satisfactory hearing. Therefore, bone conduction testing is not clinically necessary, but was recorded in this instance for the purposes of this training video.
