Term
Considerations for ANSD:

Term
Small Ears and Calibration Issues:
-Newborn ear canal resonance nearer to ___ Hz than ___ for average adult
-For stimuli presented via loudspeaker, or supra-aural or circumaural earphones; high-frequency resonance of infant ear canal will make 6000 Hz ___ than true threshold but ___ than true at 3000 Hz
-Insert earphones, more SPL in ear canal than for adults at all frequencies; therefore, infant will appear to have ___ hearing loss than adult at all frequencies
