Description of the study

Behavioral observational audiometry (BAO) is a subjective hearing test performed on children under the age of 3 and on uncooperative children. The test involves observing the child's involuntary responses to sound stimuli. It is performed using a bone earphone. The result of the test is presented in the form of an audiogram with marked points of reaction occurrence.
