[Results of ERA-hearing-tests during infancy (author's transl)].
The results of 50 children with partial or complex hearing loss, referred to the hospital for diagnosis, were evaluated according to different aspects. Haloperidol (0,1 mg/kg) administered orally causes potential changes similar to those known in the literature for natural sleep and chloral hydrate sleep (Freigang and Kevanishvili 1975). The components N2 and P3 are dominant in the potential picture instead of N1 and P2. Regarding sedation, the drug meets all requirements. The identification of the hearing level by means of the input/output functions could be performed in 24 per cent of all cases, whereas summation curves must be employed in 26 per cent and threshold determinations according to Biesalski in 30 per cent. Deafness is assumed in 20 per cent of the patients with nondetectable AEP. The average hearing loss evaluated according to age groups is between 55 and 70 dB.
