Abstract: The effective ness of the Welch Allyn Audioscope as an auditive Screening method was evaluated by a multi professional group. Results were compared to those of conventional auditive Screening. 129 children, 3-10 years of age, were evaluated after being divided in 3 groups: A - without middle ear-pathologies (MEP), B - with MEP and C- the sum of those studied. Satisfactoty sensibility and specificity rates were obtained, specially in the 1 KHz frequency, with identification of MEP (91%) and low rate of false negatives (4% in 1 KHz) its the group of children with MEP. The Audioscope 3'm is practical, easy to handle and real It makes it possible to evaluated large number of children in a short time span and its use constitutes all adequate procedure for Screening in Health Care Units, Day Care Centers and Schools.
