What auditory skills can you test using the Ling Six Sound Test?
The Ling Six Sound Test will truly get to the “nuts and bolts” of speech and hearing without all the “bells and whistles.” It can be used with hearing aids, cochlear implants, or no amplification at all.
How do you do a Ling 6 Sound Test?
To administer the Ling Six Sound Test, stand six feet away from the patient and use an average conversational level of speech. Next, say each sound one at a time and have the patient repeat the sound back to you. Be sure to present the phonemes without visual cues.
How can the Ling 6 sounds be used to determine if cochlear implants are functioning in a newly implanted infant?
Babies (Detection Task) When babies hear one of the Ling Six Sounds presented, they may respond through a behavioral cue such as eye widening, turning their head, or displaying a change in sucking behavior if using a pacifier or having a bottle.
What is the purpose of Ling sounds?
The Ling Sounds are different sounds from low to high pitch. You can use them to check that your child is hearing the range of speech sounds needed to learn language. When your child is using a cochlear implant, Baha or hearing aid, these sounds can be used to check that this equipment is working properly.
What is a ling sound check?
What Is the Ling Six Sound Check? A behavioral listening check to determine a cochlear implant’s effectiveness. The sounds ah, ee, oo, sh, s, and mm indicate a child’s ability to detect all aspects of speech as these six sounds encompass the frequency range of all phonemes.

What is auditory bombardment?
During auditory bombardment your child listens to a targeted. sound in everyday situations over and over again. This approach gives your child the. opportunity to hear the sound they are struggling with lots of times with no pressure.
What is an aided audiogram?
Aided Audiogram thresholds may be provided on an audiogram as a means of confirming the audibility of test sounds at different frequencies.
What are the Ling 6 sounds?
What is Vowelization in speech therapy?
Vowelization is the substitution of a vowel sound for a liquid (l, r) sound (e.g. “bay-uh” for “bear”). Vowelization typically resolves by the age of 6. Labialization is the substitution of a labial sound for a nonlabial sound (e.g. “mouf” for “mouth).
What is included in a peripheral audiologic evaluation?
If an audiological evaluation to confirm normal hearing sensitivity has not previously been done, a peripheral audiologic evaluation including acoustic reflex testing, otoacoustic emissions and speech-in-noise testing will be completed prior to the tests of central auditory processing.
How are specific tests selected for auditory processing disorders?
The specific tests selected depend on the age of the child, the referring complaint, test reliability and validity, and the specific auditory process assessed by each test.
What is auditory discrimination?
Auditory discrimination is the ability to distinguish between similar sounds. Weaknesses in auditory discrimination may be caused by physical hearing difficulties such as glue ear, by weaknesses in auditory perception or by a combination of factors.
What is dichotic test in audiology?
Dichotic – Dichotic tests present a different stimulus to each ear simultaneously in order to assess binaural integration (repeat everything heard in both ears) or binaural separation (ignore what is heard in one ear and repeat what is heard in the other ear). Linguistically loaded and nonlinguistically loaded dichotic tests are selected.
