BACKGROUND: Clinicians recommend that parents use noise-making toys for hearing conditioning, but these differ from formal testing stimuli, resulting in longer test times and more sessions to complete the hearing evaluation. The app-based (AB) conditioning method, having similar stimuli used in actual hearing evaluation with structured parental guidance, could reduce the clinician’s task load and the number of sessions needed for pure tone audiometry (PTA) testing among children compared to the conventional conditioning method.
