Correlation between Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR) testing and conventional diagnostic audiometry
Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR) testing allows for the gathering of frequency-specific electrophysiological information which a child is asleep via conscious sedation or natural speech. This measurement is often used with children who are unable to provide consistent responses via traditional audiometric testing, allowing for earlier assessment and intervention. Children who receive ASSR and are determined to have hearing loss are ultimately followed via conventional testing to confirm the results obtained via ASSR. Data from both ASSR assessment and conventional audiometry was reviewed from 2007-2011 with a total of 1069 thresholds analyzed. ASSR thresholds were compared to audiometric thresholds obtained within 1 year of each other. Normal hearing subjects were excluded but the data included mild to profound sensorineural hearing loss for children 18 years of age or younger. A statistically significant relationship between ASSR and conventional audiometric evaluation was obtained, strengthening our reliance upon ASSR as a viable option to assess children unable to perform traditional audiometry.
- Participants will be able to discuss the correlation between auditory steady state response (ASSR) assessment and conventional diagnostic audiometry in young children.
