| ABSTRACT |
|
Currently, the auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) are widely recognized as the most effective evoked potential test. However,
ABRs are limited by restrictions on maximum presentation levels (90 dBnHL) and by subjective interpretational process for determining
threshold. To compensate those limitations auditory steady- state responses (ASSR) is recently developed. The goal of
this study was to compare the degree between ASSR thresholds and pure tone thresholds in the sensorineural hearing impaired.
Multiple auditory steady- state responses were evoked by eight tonal stimuli (four per ear), with each stimulus simultaneously modulated
in both amplitude and frequency. The modulation frequencies varied from 66 to 99 Hz and the carrier frequencies were 500,
1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. 40 normal ears and 65 sensorineural hearing impaired ears participated. The differences between ASSR
thresholds and pure tone thresholds in the sensorineural hearing impaired and the normal hearing were 15.0±8.3, 12.4±8.5, 12.4±
8.0 and 16.2±9.1 for 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 Hz carrier frequencies, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.966, 0.969,
0.972 and 0.958 for each frequency. The differences between ASSR thresholds and pure tone thresholds in the sensorineural hearing
impaired were 7.6± 13.3, 0.2±12.3, 1.0±12.9, 1.2±16.3 for 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 Hz carrier frequencies, respectively. The
differences between ASSR thresholds and pure tone thresholds in the normal ears were 18.5±7.2, 17.0±8.0, 15.8±7.6, 20.3±8.2
for 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 Hz carrier frequencies, respectively. The correlation coefficients were 0.160, 0.105, 0.224 and 0.202
for each frequency. Further, the sensorineural hearing impaired group was divided into two groups, pure tone average (PTA) lower
than 100 dB and PTA higher than 100 dB. The differences between ASSR thresholds and pure tone thresholds in the sensorineural
hearing impaired higher than PTA 100 dB were -1.3±13.2, -9.1±10.4, -9.2±10.6, -12.7±11.6 for 500, 1,000, 2,000 and
4,000 Hz carrier frequencies, respectively. The differences between ASSR thresholds and pure tone thresholds in the sensorineural
hearing impaired lower than PTA 100 dB were 14.3±8.9, 7.3±8.4, 8.8±8.2, 11.6±10.6 for 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 Hz carrier
frequencies, respectively. These results indicate that ASSR testing to be extremely helpful in the evaluation with the sensorineural
hearing impaired especially with the sensorineural hearing impaired higher than 100 dB. The ASSR method provides good estimates
of the degree of hearing in individuals with the sensorineural hearing impaired. |
