Event. Getting Started: Aided Cortical Testing - Session 2

This eWorkshop will provide an introduction to aided cortical testing with a particular focus on the pediatric application of the test. The tools available to ensure accurate testing conditions and detection of responses will be discussed, as well as how to achieve the optimum patient state and develop the most suitable testing strategy for each individual patient.

Learning objectives:
- Explain the clinical need and benefit of aided cortical testing for the pediatric patient group.
- Describe how to prepare for and perform an aided cortical measurement.
- Determine an appropriate testing strategy for aided cortical testing based on the patient’s expected audibility.
