Oto–Acoustic Emission and Auditory Brainstem Response Profile in Children with Speech Delay at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung

Abstract

Background: Language and speech delay are the most common developmental disorders found in children. Hearing loss is the most common cause of speech delay among children. Hearing loss can be detected by subjective and objective examinations. Oto-acoustic emission (OAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) are objective electrophysiological examination with 100% sensitivity and 99% specificity. This study was aimed to describe OAE and ABR profile in children with speech delay at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung
