Article Synopsis
- Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) is commonly used to assess hearing in children aged 6 months to 2 years, traditionally using flashing lights or animated toys for motivation.
- A new study compared the effectiveness of video images versus animated toys as reinforcers during VRA testing with 2-year-olds, focusing on the number of head turns before children habituated to the stimuli.
- Results showed that children responded more (approximately 15 head turns) to video reinforcement compared to animated toy reinforcement (about 11 head turns), indicating that videos might be more engaging for young children during hearing assessments.
