Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz at 20 dB in each

Reaches a point of maximum immittance in
each ear within the range of +100 mm H2O
to -200 mm H2O in each ear.

Referral Conditions
If a child fails 2nd pure tone and school has an audiologist,
screener may consult with the audiologist.
If one of “Four Reasons NOT to Screen” is present, refer to
primary care practitioner or physician.
If a child fails 2nd pure tone and school has no audiologist and
parents have insurance, refer to parent who will refer to
physician and/or an audiologist for further evaluation.
If a child fails the 2nd pure tone and no school audiologist and no
insurance, parents may need assistance in finding care;
discussed further in Resources section.
If a child passes pure tone and fails tympanometry, refer to
primary care physician/may be middle ear problem.
If a child passes tympanometry and fails pure tone, refer to an
audiologist/may be hearing loss.
If only pure tone or OAE are used without tympanometry, refer
to either an audiologist or health care provider.
