Auditory Steady State Response, CE Chirp®, ASSR Detection Methods |
| Learning Objectives: |
1. Identify differences between ASSR stimulus generation methods
2. Demonstrate an understanding of CE Chirp stimulus
3. Describe the Full Spectrum Detection Method as it compares to other methods
4. Identify the similarities and differences of ABR and ASSR
5. Describe the affects of new technologies with regard to the “Cross Check” Principle
|
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.

Ms. Craig received a Master's degree in Audiology form the University of Tennessee in 1993. After 7 years of clinical practice, she worked as a sales and training manager for audiologic equipment distributors focusing on the education and training of endusers. In 2009, she moved to the manufacturing side of audiology. She currently works for Interacoustics as the International EP/OAE Clinical Advisor.
In 2006, Ms. Craig began working with the Helping Hands program in American Samoa to assist in developing their UNHS program. She continues to do consulting work including UNHS training as well as infant diagnostic follow up testing of the babies that refer from the Ulua'i Lagona/Helping Babies Hear Program in American Samoa. |
