Steady-State Evoked Potential and Behavioral Hearing Thresholds in a Group of Children with Absent Click-Evoked Auditory Brain Stem Response

Abstract

The results suggested that in our group of selected subjects, the SSEP technique was able to assess ears with only minimal amounts of residual hearing. Where the brevity of the acoustic click limits both its frequency specificity and its presentation level, the modulated tones used for SSEP testing allow accurate, frequency-specific assessment at high presentation levels.
