The utility of R. Keith’s (1977) method of screening for hearing sensitivity using the contralateral acoustic-reflex threshold (ART) for broad-band noise (BBN) was tested in persons with cerebral palsy (CP). Three groups of participants were included in this prospective study. The first group comprised 20 normal-hearing individuals without CP whose results were used as normative data. The second group comprised 16 participants with normal hearing and CP. The third group comprised 22 participants with sensorineural hearing loss and CP. The results of this study indicate that Keith’s screening method employing ART for BBN can be used successfully in a population with multiple handicaps where a quick, inexpensive, readily available, and accurate method is needed.

Auditory brain stem response, auditory sensitivity, speech discrimination function, acoustic reflex threshold, and reflex decay were studied in seven children with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), nine adults with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), one child with neonatal ALD, and two carriers of ALD. Significant auditory dysfunctions were found in only two patients; a retrocochlear type auditory disorder in one child with ALD, and a profound deafness in a child with neonatal ALD. None of the patients showed significant abnormality in acoustic reflex threshold and reflex decay except for one patient with ALD who showed a slightly elevated reflex threshold. All but two ALD patients showed significantly prolonged wave latencies and interwave intervals. The latency values revealed the highest incidence of abnormality in the I to III interval; this was followed by the III to V interval, then by wave I. Significantly, one child with asymptomatic ALD and both heterozygous female relatives showed abnormal ABRs, demonstrating the high sensitivity of ABR in detection of the existence of pathophysiological condition in subclinical or presymptomatic ALD.
