The current pediatric test battery is limited in the severe-to-profound hearing loss range by the inability to obtain frequency-specific thresholds. Auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is an evoked potential test that can accurately measure auditory sensitivity beyond the limits of other test methods. The limited amount of clinical research, however, has delayed the acceptance of ASSR into the standard pediatric test battery. This study compared thresholds from 76 children using ASSR, ABR, and behavioral test methods. Resulting correlations were strong and supported the inclusion of ASSR into the standard pediatric test battery. ASSR testing provides audiometric information that is essential in the management of children with severe-to-profound hearing loss.
目前的儿科听力测试组合在重度至极重度听力损失范围内受到限制，因为无法获得特定频率的阈值。听觉稳态反应（ASSR）是一种诱发电位测试，它能够在其他测试方法的极限之外准确测量听觉敏感度。然而，临床研究数量有限，这延缓了ASSR被纳入标准儿科听力测试组合的进程。本研究比较了76名儿童使用ASSR、听性脑干反应（ABR）和行为测试方法所得到的阈值。得出的相关性很强，支持将ASSR纳入标准儿科听力测试组合。ASSR测试提供了听力测定信息，这对于管理重度至极重度听力损失儿童至关重要。
