The main issue regarding pediatric audiology diagnosis is determining procedures to configure reliable results which can be used to predict frequency-specific hearing thresholds.
To investigate the correlation between auditory steady-state response (ASSR) with other tests in children with sensorineural hearing loss.
Prospective cross-sectional contemporary cohort study. Twenty-three children (ages 1 to 7; mean, 3 years old) were submitted to ASSR, behavioral audiometry, click audiometry brain stem response (ABR), tone burst ABR, and predicting hearing level from the acoustic reflex.
the correlation between behavioral thresholds and ASSR was (0.70- 0.93), for the ABR tone burst it was (0.73 -0.93), for the ABR click it was (0.83-0.89) only at 2k and 4 kHz. The match between the ASSR and the hearing threshold prediction rule was considered moderate.
there was a significant correlation between the ASSR and audiometry, as well as between ABR click (2k and 4 kHz) and for the ABR tone burst. The acoustic reflex can be used to add information to diagnosis in children.
儿科听力学诊断的主要问题是确定可用于预测频率特异性听阈的可靠结果的程序。
调查在患有感觉神经性听力损失的儿童中，听觉稳态反应（ASSR）与其他测试之间的相关性。
前瞻性的横断面当代队列研究。23 名儿童（年龄 1 至 7 岁；平均 3 岁）接受 ASSR、行为测听、click 测听脑干反应（ABR）、短声 ABR 和从声反射预测听力水平。
行为阈值与 ASSR 之间的相关性为（0.70-0.93），短声 ABR 为（0.73-0.93），click ABR 仅在 2k 和 4kHz 时为（0.83-0.89）。ASSR 与听力阈值预测规则之间的匹配被认为是中度的。
ASSR 与测听之间以及 click ABR（2k 和 4kHz）与短声 ABR 之间存在显著相关性。声反射可用于为儿童的诊断提供信息。
