Test sounds and hearing responses in young children with autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study checks how children’s brains and bodies respond to sounds using a hearing test called BAEP. It compares children with autism to other children with typical development to learn whether sound processing differs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a child age 3 to 6 during the hearing/sound assessment
- If in the autism group: have an autism diagnosis made by a pediatrician or child mental/brain specialist
- Be able to complete the BAEP hearing test, and your BAEP results must be in the normal range
- If not diagnosed with autism: be a child with typical development for age, or be evaluated due to special risk factors for hearing problems or language delay
- Have no current ear infection or ear structure problem around the time of testing
