چکیده
INTRODUCTION The evaluation of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential has been the focus of scientific studies in infants. Some authors have reported that automated response detection is effective in exploring these potentials in infants, but few have reported their efficacy in the search for thresholds. OBJECTIVE To analyze the latency, amplitude and thresholds of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential using an automatic response detection device in a neonatal population. METHODS This is a cross-sectional, observational study. Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials were recorded in response to pure-tone stimuli of the frequencies 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000Hz presented in an intensity range between 0 and 80dB HL using a single channel recording. P1 was performed in an exclusively automated fashion, using Hotelling's T2 statistical test. The latency and amplitude were obtained manually by three examiners. The study comprised 39 neonates up to 28 days old of both sexes with presence of otoacoustic emissions and no risk factors for hearing loss. RESULTS With the protocol used, Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential responses were detected in all subjects at high intensity and thresholds. The mean thresholds were 24.8±10.4dB NA, 25±9.0dB NA, 28±7.8dB NA and 29.4±6.6dB HL for 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000Hz, respectively. CONCLUSION Reliable responses were obtained in the assessment of cortical auditory potentials in the neonates assessed with a device for automatic response detection.

Estimating Hearing Thresholds in Hearing-Impaired Adults through Objective Detection of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials.
BACKGROUND Hearing threshold estimation based on cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) has been applied for some decades. However, available research is scarce evaluating the accuracy of this technique with an automated paradigm for the objective detection of CAEPs. PURPOSE To determine the difference between behavioral and CAEP thresholds detected using an objective paradigm based on t...
متن کاملComparison of multiple auditory steady-state responses (80 versus 40 Hz) and slow cortical potentials for threshold estimation in hearing-impaired adults.
This study evaluated the use of multiple auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) and slow cortical potentials (SCPs) to estimate behavioural audiograms in adults for compensation cases. Two groups of 23 subjects were assessed using either 80 Hz or 40 Hz multiple simultaneous tones with carrier frequencies of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 kHz. SCP thresholds for 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 kHz were obtained for ...
متن کاملVestibular receptors contribute to cortical auditory evoked potentials☆
Acoustic sensitivity of the vestibular apparatus is well-established, but the contribution of vestibular receptors to the late auditory evoked potentials of cortical origin is unknown. Evoked potentials from 500 Hz tone pips were recorded using 70 channel EEG at several intensities below and above the vestibular acoustic threshold, as determined by vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs)....

Background: Cortical Evoked Response Audiometry (CERA) refers to prediction of behavioral pure-tone thresholds (500-4000 Hz) obtained by recording the N1-P2 complex of auditory long latency responses. CERA is the preferred method for frequency–specific estimation of audiogram in conscious adults and older children. CERA has an increased accuracy of determination of the hearing thresholds of ale...

Purpose: To investigate the exogenous potential in normal hearing neonates born at full term and preterm, correlating them to gender and to the presence of risk indicators for hearing impairment (IRDA). Methods: 96 of 127 newborns were considered after judges’ analysis. Sixty six were born at term and 30 preterm in a public hospital. All neonates had result “pass” in neonatal hearing screening....
