Thresholds for Auditory Brain Stem Responses to Tones in Notched Noise from Infants and Young Children with Normal Hearing or Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Abstract

These threshold results for the ABR to brief tones in notched noise obtained for infants and young children are similar to those obtained in similar studies of adults. The technique may be used clinically with reasonable accuracy to estimate pure-tone behavioral thresholds in infants and young children who are referred for diagnostic threshold ABR testing.
