    Evaluation of hearing in children with autism by using TEOAE and ABR
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2007) Tas, Abdullah; Yagiz, Recep; Tas, Memduha; Esme, Meral; Uzun, Cem; Karasalihoglu, Ahmet Rifat
    Assessment of auditory abilities is important in the diagnosis and treatment of children with autism. The aim was to evaluate hearing objectively by using transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR). Tests were performed on 3 0 children with autism and 15 typically developing children, following otomicroscopy and tympanometry. The children with autism were sedated before the tests. Positive emissions and normal hearing level at ABR were obtained in both ears of all children in the control group and of 25 children with autism. TEOAE and ABR results varied in the remaining five children with autism. The mean III-V interpeak latencies (IPLs) in both ears of children with autism were longer than those in the control group. Hearing loss may be more common in children with autism than in typically developing children.
