Overview

This document outlines the "Mother's Distraction" system which is used when conducting audiological tests on young subjects in the CMA 2 CSD Clinic Audiology Booths. Mother's distraction is used to prevent the caregiver from hearing a small child's audio test and potentially telegraphing non-verbal cues to the child when the child is being held in the caregiver's lap. The distraction system consists of a CD player, iPod input cable, source selector, headphone amplifier, and a pair of over-the-ear headphones which are worn by the caregiver. Music is played through the headphones at a sufficient volume to prevent the caregiver from hearing the child's audio test.

Mother's Distraction equipment is available in Booth Pair B & Booth Pair E.
