From Early Music Audiometry to Tone Audiograms
Sponsor: Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust
Summary
Hearing tests are crucial for a child's development, but the standard test, Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA), often doesn't work for those with social communication disorders (SCD) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A standardised filtering tool has been developed. Understanding how the results from this new music test compare to standard test results, particularly in people with hearing loss, is critical to establishing the fundamental psychoacoustic threshold relationship. This basic science research validates the acoustic methodology before any future clinical diagnostic application can be considered

Soundfield Behavioral Audiometry
Single 15-minute behavioral soundfield hearing detection task comparing conventional warble tones, narrow-band noise, and band-pass filtered familiar music stimuli (BPF-FMS). Group 1 receives BPF-FMS generated via the baseline filtering algorithm; Group 2 receives BPF-FMS generated via the optimized filtering algorithm
