Abstract

|
|
The purpose of this study was to develop a computer-animated pure tone audiometry for screening (CAPTAS) for toddler and to determine its validity and reliability. The CAPTAS utilizes an animated cartoon story producing visual and auditory stimuli. The intensities were 40 ㏈, 60 ㏈, 80 ㏈. The frequencies were 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 4000 Hz. The subjects were 20 (9 males and 11 females) severely hearing impaired children. As a result, The correlation coefficient between mean hearing threshold of children who were able to perform PTA and average hearing threshold of CAPTAS was performed and it revealed CAPTAS"s high validity. And to verify the reliability of the re-test, all children had the CAPTAS and repeated it periodically. The result confirmed the reliability.
