Guest guest Posted July 3, 1999 Report Share Posted July 3, 1999 ? Does anybody know about Auditory Neuropathy? I forget if that is what is indicated when the ABR is normal and the audiogram is not - or CAPD? I believe from the way Eugene explained it to me and if my memory and typing serve me right at 1:30 am, The ABR is normal but the OAE (?) is abnormal. My children have had the ABR but not the OAE (yet). When my son was first tested in the booth at 18 mths. they told me his hearing was fine, not sure how they could tell because he ran around in circles the whole time. One year later after he had completely stopped talking they did an ABR which showed his moderate-severe loss in his right ear and severe-profound loss in his left. By the way the OAE is some kind of emissions test I believe. Maybe someone else has a better memory than me. I'm about a week late anyway, sorry.

Recently Orla sent me a link to an excellent page on the subject: Auditory neuropathy: What is it and what can we do about it? http://www.lsumc.edu/campus/otor/audn-qa.html Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
