High Frequency Rattles

High frequency rattles for infant hearing tests

"My child does not listen to me!" is something we have all heard once too many times. Performing hearing tests during infant examinations is crucial to make sure this is a normal defiant reaction and not a hearing disorder. The high frequency rattle, also called Ewing rattle or McCormick model Ewing rattle, is used in these kinds of hearing examinations. They are reliable tools in every paediatric and general doctor’s office. Thanks to their handiness, they are also suitable for using in hospitals.

Using a high frequency rattle

A high frequency rattle is the perfect sound source for performing an Ewing test. This instrument will allow you to perform a quick and easy hearing test when doing infant check-ups. To do this, you simply shake the high-frequency rattle outside the newborn’s or child’s vision field and look whether they turn towards the sound or not. If they do, they do not have a hearing problem. The child’s reaction to the sound must be spontaneous and reactive.
