Prediction of hearing threshold in infants using auditory steady-state evoked potentials.

Frequency-Specific ABR and ASSR Threshold Assessment in Young Infants

The importance of early identification and habilitation of hearing loss for improved access to auditory stimuli and for positive prognosis of speech and language is well established in the literature (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association [ASHA] 2004; Hyde 2005; Joint Commission on Infant Hearing [JCIH] 2007; Kennedy, McCann, Campbell, Kimm and Thornton 2005; Yoshinaga-Itano and Gravel 2...

Clinical Application of Auditory Evoked Potentials in Infants: Comparing the Auditory Brainstem Response and Auditory Steady State Response

Some Factors that May Influence the Accuracy of Auditory Brainstem Response Estimates of Hearing Loss

There has always been a need for objective tests that assess auditory function in infants, young children, and/or any patient whose developmental level precluded the use of behavioral audiometric techniques. Although several approaches have been tried, such as acoustic-reflex threshold, middle-latency response, and late auditory-evoked potential measurements, for the past twenty-five years, tha...

Normal multiple auditory steady-state response thresholds to air-conducted stimuli in infants.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multiple auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) to stimuli modulated at approximately 80 Hz are a promising technique for threshold estimation in infants, but additional data are required. RESEARCH DESIGN We obtained multiple ASSRs to air-conducted (AC) stimuli. STUDY SAMPLE There were 54 children in two age groups: > six months (N=32) and < or = six months (N=22). A...

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...
