The aim of this study is to confirm the value of this new version of Pétale® ((small equipment for testing the child's hearing) in the daily practice of general practitioners or pediatricians for the screening of hearing disorders in very young children.
The research procedure is auditory stimulation using Pétale® (small equipment for testing the child's hearing) based on the "orientation reflex" ("Ewing" test): the child is seated on the companion's knees between the two enclosures and the investigator observes whether or not he is attracted to a familiar calibrated noise coming from one side or the other.
