[On infantile audiometry: the Bordeaux strategy].
Infantile "subjective" or behavioural audiometry requires highly skilled pediatric audiologists. It is indeed often said in the majority of centres that any subjective examination is impossible under the age of 3, whereas in our clinic we successfully complete extremely precise tests, including in bone conduction, as from the age of 6 months. The strategy and techniques employed to obtain audiometric curves with headphones as from such an age are described. Subsequently, the statistical studies covering over 600 cases are presented, evidencing the earliness, accuracy and reliability of the curves obtained over nearly 15 years in Bordeaux by the method described.
