According to The Independent, a non-invasive hearing test in early childhood may reveal autism.. Until now, autism can be diagnosed, usually at the age of four during the analysis of a child’s speech..

However, now doctors will be able to use a hearing test as a way to diagnose this disease.. It is reported that a test for the presence of an acoustic reflex by measuring pressure in the middle ear when exposed to sound will establish the sensitivity of the hearing organs and the response rate of a particular patient to various frequencies.

This method is effective due to the fact that patients with autism have an increased sound sensitivity. So, even the least loud sound can cause distress in a patient. In addition, since hearing is a fundamental factor in the formation of speech, its deviations leave an imprint in the interaction of the individual with others in an emotional and social plane.

It should be noted that such diagnostics will provide the opportunity to correct certain malformations, since the brain of children at an early age is characterized by maximum plasticity.
