title: [Early audiometry].
abstract: Data obtained from electrophysiology are insufficient both for the audioprosthetist and for the speech therapist. In order to meet the requirements for the increasingly early equipping and training of deaf children, we have developed in the Bordeaux Audiology Laboratory an audiometric strategy making it possible to obtain, as early as 5 to 6 months old, bone curves on the vibrator, and air curves on the head-set. In addition to the auditive information that can be obtained, the test described forms, by its design, the starting point of early training and parental guidance. Its success is based on the relationship that is established between the child and the investigator. Early audiometry is possible. It is essential prior to any therapeutic approach.
