Abstract

As a result of newborn hearing screening, hearing aids are usually prescribed and fitted by 2–3 months of age. However, the assessment data used for prescribing hearing aids in infants and toddlers are limited in quality and quantity. There is great interest in finding appropriate physiological measures that can be help to facilitate and improve the management process of hearing impaired children. It seems that cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) can provide information before it is possible to obtain reliable information from behavioral assessment procedures. This article will review the studies conducted in this area during the past15 years to determine the advantages, disadvantages and future research areas of CAEPs as an objective method in the management of hearing impaired children. © 2021 Elsevier B.V.
