OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of auditory steady-state response (ASSR) as a measure of hearing sensitivity in young children suspect for significant hearing loss. DESIGN Within-subject comparisons of click auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds and ASSR thresholds. SUBJECTS The study population comprised 42 children suspect for hearing loss and subsequently referred for hea...

BACKGROUND the auditory steady state response (ASSR) is an electrophysiological procedure that evaluates, at the same time, the hearing thresholds of both ears at various frequencies. This procedure reduces the time of testing and enables the stimulation of levels close to 125dB HL, characterizing residual hearing. AIM to verify the applicability of the ASSR to determine the hearing threshold...

Objective: To characterize the thresholds of the auditory steady-state response that relates to term newborns and infants. Design: The study was cross-sectional using auditory steadystate response assessment, and the real-ear-to-dial difference was measured in the external auditory canal. Study Sample: The study group included 60 newborns and infants between the age of 0 and 6 months. Results: ...

INTRODUCTION The ASSR test is an electrophysiological test that evaluates, among other aspects, neural synchrony, based on the frequency or amplitude modulation of tones. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of auditory steady-state response testing in detecting lesions and dysfunctions of the central auditory nervous system. METHODS Seventy volun...
