Abstract

This study attempted to determine the most appropriate clinical protocol for using the Auditory Steady State Response for the prediction of behavioral thresholds. Sixteen normal hearing subjects were tested behaviorally as well as using the ASSR. All subjects were tested using the single-frequency ASSR approach as well as the multiple-frequency ASSR approach in attempts to determine the most accurate predictor of pure-tone behavioral thresholds at 500-4000Hz. Additional test parameters, such as recording channel (ipsilateral versus contralateral) and phase angles of the signal and noise, as well as total recording time were considered to determine the most appropriate protocol for obtaining ASSR thresholds in a clinical environment. The results of this study revealed that a combination of the multiple-frequency and single-frequency ASSR methods yielded the most accurate prediction of pure-tone behavioral thresholds in the most acceptable amount of time.
