Conditioned play audiometry (CPA) is a type of audiometry done in children from ages 2 to 5 years old, in developmental age. It is the test that directly follows visual reinforcement audiometry when the child becomes able to focus on a task.
Pediatric conditioned play audiometry (CPA) allows an audiologist to test the hearing of very young toddlers and preschoolers. CPA uses behavioral conditioning to get kids to respond to sounds. It is designed for children between 2 and 5 years of age.
Play audiometry involves conditioning the child to respond to sound using an activity such as placing a peg in a pegboard, placing blocks in a container, stacking rings on a stick or placing puzzle pieces into a puzzle.
Pediatric audiologists are faced with the task of developing entertaining and novel conditioned play audiometry (CPA) games that motivate pre-school and school-age children with hearing loss to participate in serial comprehensive audiologic assessments.
The use of a team testing approach for Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) and Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA) may be helpful in some circumstances, such as when testing children who have developmental delays.
A conditioned play audiometry test measures your child's ability to discriminate between different sound intensities, recognize pitch, or distinguish speech from background noise. Learn more from Boston Children's Hospital.
Conditioned Play Audiometry (CPA) is an effective way to test young children’s hearing abilities. This method allows audiologists and other professionals to engage children in playful activities while gathering important auditory information.
Though specialized adaptations exist (such as conditioned play audiometry), these methods can be time consuming and costly. The objective of this study was to validate an iPad-based play audiometer that addresses the shortcomings of existing audiometry.
In much the same way, children who use hearing aids and cochlear implants can quickly come to view conditioned “play” audiometry (CPA) as conditioned “work” audiometry—or, even worse, as a real pain in the posterior.
A single-interval, adaptive procedure called Conditioned Play Audiometry 5 (CPA) is routinely used in the audiology clinic to assess hearing sensitivity for children with a developmental age falling between about 2.5 and 5 years 6.
