To define difference scores between PTA, ASSR and CERA thresholds in subjects with occupational NIHL.
44 subjects undergoing a medico-legal expert assessment for occupational NIHL and fulfilling criteria of reliability were considered. Assessment included: PTA, 40 Hz binaural multiple ASSR and CERA (1-2-3 kHz).
The respective average difference scores (ASSR - PTA) for 1, 2 and 3 kHz are 13.01 (SD 10.19) dB, 12.72 (SD 8.81) dB and 10.38 (SD 8.19) dB. The average (CERA - ASSR) difference scores are 1.25 (SD 14.63) dB for 1 kHz (NS), 2.73 (SD 13.03) dB for 2 kHz (NS) and 4.51 (SD 12.18) dB for 3 kHz. The correlation between PTA and ASSR (0.82) is significantly stronger than that between PTA and CERA (0.71). In a given subject, PTA thresholds are nearly always lower ( better) than ASSR thresholds, whatever the frequency (1-2-3 kHz) and the side (right - left). A significant negative correlation is found between the difference score (ASSR - PTA) and the degree of hearing loss.
ASSR outperforms CERA in a medicolegal context, although overestimating the behavioral thresholds by 10-13 dB
确定职业性噪声性听力损失(NIHL)受试者中纯音听阈(PTA)、听性稳态反应(ASSR)和耳蜗电图反应阈值(CERA)之间的差异分数。
纳入44名接受职业性NIHL医学法律专家评估且符合可靠性标准的受试者。评估包括:PTA、40Hz双耳多频ASSR和CERA(1-2-3kHz)。
1kHz、2kHz和3kHz各自的平均差异分数(ASSR - PTA)分别为13.01(标准差10.19)dB、12.72(标准差8.81)dB和10.38(标准差8.19)dB。平均(CERA - ASSR)差异分数在1kHz时为1.25(标准差14.63)dB(无统计学意义),2kHz时为2.73(标准差13.03)dB(无统计学意义),3kHz时为4.51(标准差12.18)dB。PTA与ASSR之间的相关性(0.82)显著强于PTA与CERA之间的相关性(0.71)。在给定受试者中,无论频率(1-2-3kHz)和耳侧(右-左)如何,PTA阈值几乎总是低于(更好)ASSR阈值。差异分数(ASSR - PTA)与听力损失程度之间存在显著负相关。
在医学法律背景下,ASSR优于CERA,尽管将行为阈值高估了10-13dB
