1. A method of performing an auditory screening test on a patient by operating a system for performing objective audiometry, the method comprising: a. operating a processor of the system to acoustically present at least one modulated noise stimulus at a screening intensity to at least one ear of the patient; b. operating the processor to provide recording of response data related to the patient's response to the at least one stimulus; c. operating the processor of the system to perform signal analysis on said response data to generate result data; d. operating the processor of the system to evaluate the result data using at least one statistical test to determine the presence of at least one auditory steady-state response; and, e. operating the processor of the system to provide a pass/fail test result which indicates whether said patient has passed or failed said screening test, whereby the patient is assessed with normal hearing for a pass result.
