Play-Based Hearing Test for Young Children

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 92582

This is a hearing test designed for young children who are too old for infant-style testing but not yet able to reliably respond to standard adult hearing tests. The child is taught to perform a simple, game-like action — such as placing a block in a bucket — every time they hear a sound, allowing the examiner to determine the softest sounds the child can detect at different pitches. It is typically conducted by an audiologist in a sound-treated room.
