Method and Materials: This cross - sectional survey is carried out in pediatric clinic department of audiology faculty of rehabilitation, TMSU, on spring 1998. 102 top grade ranking children with normal hearing threshold
Results:1- The thresholds were not significantly different at any frequency (P>0.05) in test re-test trials. 2- The test minus re-test threshold for individual ears showed clinically reliable and acceptable range 0-10dB SPL for at least 99.74% of the ears at all frequencies. 3- The threshold differences between right & left cars in two test sessions were not significantly different (P>0.05) except for 14KHz. 4- High- frequency threshold in two test sessions showed no significant difference between girls & boys at all frequencies (P>0.05) (except for 16 & 20 KHz in right ear and 10 KHz in left ear). Conclusion: This test can be used for evaluation of individual high-frequency threshold in all frequency as test re-tests tria1. Moreover, this test may use as a beneficial tool for monitoring different endogenous and exogenous auditory pathologies. Consideration: it is found that this research is valid only among situation of this project. Any generalization needs further research.
