Abstract
In the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia, where geographical isolation and accessibility to health care services present challenges, early detection of hearing loss is vital. Untreated hearing loss in infants can delay speech, language, and cognitive development, impacting education and social outcomes. Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) testing is crucial for diagnosing hearing impairment in infants who cannot undergo behavioural tests, providing an objective assessment of auditory function.1
