Which hearing test works best for preschoolers? major study aims to find out

This study compares two common hearing screening methods—pure-tone audiometry and otoacoustic emissions—in over 13,000 preschool children. The goal is to determine which method is better at identifying hearing loss early, so children can get the help they need to avoid speech and language delays. All children will receive both tests, and researchers will compare how well each method works in a real-world preschool setting.
