Reliability and frequency specificity of auditory steady-state response detected by phase spectral analysis
Abstract:
Automatic threshold detection techniques are described for auditory steady-state response (ASSR) elicited with a sinusoidally amplitude-modulated tone. The reliability and frequency specificity of ASSR are discussed. When applied to awake adults and detected by phase spectral analysis, 40-Hz ASSR threshold patterns closely resemble their corresponding audiograms. However, 40-Hz ASSR is insufficiently reliable for determining hearing thresholds in young children during sleep. On the other hand, 80-Hz ASSR is detected clearly in sleeping children. Moreover, 80-Hz ASSR threshold patterns also closely resemble the corresponding audiograms. Therefore, 80-Hz ASSR appears to be useful for objective audiometry in children.
