Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) A VEP test painlessly evaluates the visual pathways in your child's brain. During the test, the child will watch a child-friendly video monitor with a moving pattern. Watching the moving pattern produces electrical activity in his or her brain that is measured by several electrodes placed on the head.

What is it?

* The test evaluates the visual pathways in your child's brain.
* It checks on the health of the "internal" parts of your child's visual system.

Does it hurt?

* NO! Your child will not experience any pain or discomfort.

Tympanometry is a test used to detect disorders of the middle ear.

This test measures your child's ear's responses to sound and different pressure.

Typanometry can be useful in finding any of the following:

* A tumor in the middle ear
* Fluid in the middle ear
* Impacted ear wax
* Lack of contact between the conduction bones of the middle ear
* Perforated ear drum
* Scarring of the tympanic membrane

There are no risks with this test.
Otoacoustic emissions are clinically important because they are the basis of a simple, non-invasive, test for hearing defects in newborn babies and in children who are too young to cooperate in conventional hearing tests.
The primary screening tool is a test for the presence of a click-evoked OAE. Otoacoustic emissions also assist in differential diagnosis of cochlear and higher level hearing losses

 

 

 

 

Spirometry is a test that measures the volume of air that can be exhaled from the lung after the child breathes in their largest possible breath. Spirometry also measures how fast the air comes out (the flow). To perform this test, a patient is asked to place his mouth around a mouthpiece attached to a tube. The patient will first begin by breathing quietly through the mouthpiece. He/ she will then be instructed to take in the biggest breath possible, and then blow it out as hard, as fast, and as long as possible. The computer measures the amount of air breathed out over time.
