At seven months, M.S. was seen twice, first receiving soundfield testing, then again a few weeks later where individual ear data were obtained.  The individual ear data are reported to be inconsistent; the child was anticipating the activation of the toys and was giving false positives.  That testing was conducted with the output of the insert earphone connected to the earmolds the child was using for amplification.

• What techniques would you use to decrease the false positives?
• Compare the results to the ABR and ASSR test results.
• What is the benefit of using the child’s earmolds rather than insert earphone foam tips?
