A group of hearing-impaired infants, originally identified using visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA), were followed until they could be tested using more conventional play audiometry. Minimum response levels using VRA on this hearing-impaired population were highly consistent with measurements obtained later by play audiometry. Statistical analysis shows no significant differences between the two approaches. Test results obtained after the child's second birthday using conventional play audiometry were sufficiently similar to the earlier results obtained by VRA to validate the early test findings. VRA information can be obtained during a period of time when the child is too young to give behavioral information in another way. Use of the VRA test method can specifically define a hearing-impaired infant's minimum response levels so that definite recommendations can be made for auditory management.
一组最初通过视觉强化测听法（VRA）确定为听力受损的婴儿，一直被跟踪观察，直到他们能够使用更传统的游戏测听法进行测试。在这一听力受损人群中，使用VRA测得的最低反应水平与后来通过游戏测听法获得的测量结果高度一致。统计分析表明，这两种方法之间没有显著差异。使用传统游戏测听法在孩子两岁生日后获得的测试结果与早期通过VRA获得的结果足够相似，从而验证了早期测试结果。VRA信息可以在孩子太小而无法以其他方式提供行为信息的时间段内获得。使用VRA测试方法可以具体确定听力受损婴儿的最低反应水平，以便能够对听觉管理提出明确建议。
