Abstract: |
Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR) testing has been in clinical use for almost 10 years. Recent developments in stimulus technology and detection methods have rapidly improved the clinician’s toolbox for identifying infants with hearing loss. Faster test times and more accurate results have been the outcome of this research. Published data illustrates comparable ASSR thresholds to tone burst thresholds in less time. While the hope of ASSR solely providing a statistically valid audiogram remains, the ASSR does serve as another tool in achieving the cross check principle. The CE Chirp® Stimulus is also used for ABR testing and provides for increased waveform amplitudes.
The goal of identifying infants with hearing loss is an enormous challenge. ASSR can assist the clinician in attaining an accurate diagnosis. The CE Chirp® and Full Spectrum Detection Methods can in speed up test time. This combination will be discussed and provide the clinician with a solid understanding of the developments in ASSR technology, past and present.
