An intrauterine sound test was developed for monitoring prenatal hearing disorders and evaluated concerning its efficacy and practical feasibility. The procedure is based on the fetesto capacity react upon exogenous sound stimulation. An acoustic stimulation was achieved by a noise generator placed directly on the maternal abdomen in the proximity of the fetal ear. Successful stimulation was monitored by sonographic means expressed as fetal child movements in 447 pregnant women at the end of the 26th to the 37th week of gestation. The most favourable time for an intrauterine hearing test is between the 30th and 32nd week of gestation. The quantity of amniotic liquor, placental location and pathological pregnancies influences the test results. Efficiency and limits of prenatal hearing diagnostics are discussed.

D005324 Fetal Movement Physical activity of the FETUS in utero. Gross or fine fetal body movement can be monitored by the mother, PALPATION, or ULTRASONOGRAPHY. Fetal Activity,Fetal Activities,Fetal Movements
D005865 Gestational Age The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D001300 Audiometry, Evoked Response A form of electrophysiologic audiometry in which an analog computer is included in the circuit to average out ongoing or spontaneous brain wave activity. A characteristic pattern of response to a sound stimulus may then become evident. Evoked response audiometry is known also as electric response audiometry.
