Overview
What does a child actually hear? At what intensities and at what frequencies? The answers to these questions are extremely difficult, because a child is not able to describe his/her auditory perception to us, as an adult would. Of the many available methods, VRA - Visual Reinforcement Audiometry - has proven to be the most viable method in recent years. This method is able to complement information about auditory perception with the child’s subjective reaction to sound.
