ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to find out effects of factors related with stimuli on ASSR in normal hearing and sensory-neural hearing loss (SNHL). We compared the ASSR amplitudes, the time required to detect significant responses, ASSR thresholds and differences between ASSR and pure tone thresholds for each exponent of modulation and stimulus level. Subjects included 35 persons (68 ears) with normal hearing and 24 persons (44 ears) with SNHL. A clinical AC 33 audiometer (Interacoustics) was used to evaluate pure tone thresholds. ASSR was obtained using MASTER system (version, 2.01) at carrier frequencies of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000 Hz with modulation frequencies of 82-99 Hz and the exponent of modulation (N) 1 or 2 (100% AM/20% FM vs 100% AM2/20% FM). Results were as follows. Firstly, ASSR amplitudes with AM2/FM was significantly larger than those with AM/FM by 9.66 % and 3.32 % at each stimulus level (50 dBHL vs 30 dBHL) in normal hearing and by 12.54 % at 10SL in SNHL. Secondly, the time required to detect significant responses was not significantly different for each exponent of modulation and stimulus level in both normal hearing and SNHL. Thirdly, ASSR thresholds and differences between ASSR and pure tone thresholds with AM2/FM is significantly lower and smaller than those with AM/FM in both normal hearing and SNHL. The results indicate that ASSR with the exponent of modulation from 1 to 2 may produce larger amplitudes and take the short time to obtain significant responses and may produce lower thresholds andsmallerdifferences between ASSR and pure tone thresholds. Therefore the exponent of 2 for amplitude modulation of mixed modulation can be used for estimating hearing level in both normal hearing and SNHL.
