Reliability of Tablet-based Hearing Testing in Nicaraguan Schoolchildren: A Detailed Analysis

Conclusion: A Wireless Automated Hearing-Test System identified all children with hearing loss in a challenging field setting. A two-step protocol (those referred from automated testing are tested manually) reduced false-positive examinations and unnecessary referrals. Children who respond frequently when no tone is presented are more likely to have false-positive automated examinations and should be tested manually.
