“…These results disagree with a study 10 that found differences of 11 ± 5, 14 ± 8, 9 ± 8 and 10 ± 10 for 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz in adult individuals. Also, these results disagree with some researchers 12 , who describe better results in the audiometry of children and adolescents, and another study 13 , with children with normal hearing, where the results were 7 to 16 dB worse for the ASSR. These differences in the results of the studies may be justified by the age group evaluated, as older children and adult individuals respond better in behavioral assessments 14,15 when compared to infants.…”

“…These results corroborate with another study16 with SSBB in children with normal hearing, where the average thresholds were 14, 20, 26 and 22 dB for the frequencies of 500 to 4000 Hz, respectively, with better results for the lower frequencies. Another study 13 , in children with normal auditory thresholds, described bone AEPS values from further complications. Therefore, the indispensability of an early diagnosis and evaluation through the bone, in the identification and treatment of conductive changes is visible.…”

Purpose: to compare the findings of minimum levels of answers through air and bone conductions between the Visual Reinforcement Audiometry and the Steady-State Auditory Evoked Potential in infants from six to twelve months, with and without conductive disorder. Methods: sixty children aged six to twelve months were evaluated, 30 presenting conductive disorder, and 30 not presenting it. Children with malformation in the external auditory meatus with neurological alteration and / or genetic syndrome were excluded, as well as patients with sensorineural or mixed hearing loss. The infants were subjected to Visual Reinforcement Audiometry and Steady-State Auditory Evoked Potential evaluation through air and bone conduction on the same day. The results of both assessments were compared and correlated. Results: in the comparison through air conduction, for the group without conductive disorder of the medium ear, the minimum levels of response for 500 and 1000Hz were lower (better thresholds) for Steady-State Auditory Evoked Potential in both ears, and through bone conduction were very similar in all frequencies. Concerning the infants that present conductive disorder, the responses through air conduction were better in all frequencies evaluated when obtained via Steady-State Auditory Evoked Potential test. Through bone conduction, the results were very similar for both groups. Conclusion: it was possible to compare the findings to the minimum levels of response through air and bone conductions between the Visual Reinforcement Audiometry and the Steady-State Auditory Evoked Potential, being that the comparison for bone conduction in both groups presents an equivalence in the results, being very similar. In addition, for the air conduction, in the control group, there was proximity of responses of some frequencies, while the values for the Steady-State Auditory Evoked Potential test were better than the behavioral responses in the conductive disorder group.

Original Article INTRODUCTIONHearing impairment is a crucial health problem in childhood. Hearing loss is detected in 1-6 of every 1000 live births [1] . In infants, early detection of hearing impairment is essential because of its detrimental effects on speech and language development [2] . Thereby, language, speech, and cognitive functions can be improved using hearing aids or cochlear or brainstem implants [3] .For children with hearing loss, the period around 6 months of age is critical for therapy using hearing aids in order to maximize speech and language development [4] . Today, various audiological test batteries are used for the detection of hearing impairment. Unfortunately, behavioral hearing testing, also called visual reinforcement audiometry, is not reliable before 6 months of age [5] . In infants, auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are the main audiological tests for the detection of hearing impairments worldwide [6] . However, both audiological tests have some advantages and disadvantages. As a matter of fact, OAE is a quick test to determine whether hearing is normal or abnormal, whereas ABR provides an assessment of the level of hearing loss [6] . Auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is an alternative objective audiometric test for the detection of hearing loss in neonates, infants, and adults. It has several advantages: (i) the results at each frequency of stimulation can be automatically detected, (ii) there is no need for audiologists to identify the peaks, and (iii) it is easy to apply [7] . Moreover, unlike screening OAE, ASSR can evaluate the frequency-specific responses [8] .Recently, several clinical studies have evaluated the role of ASSR in for the detection of hearing impairment among infants. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of ASSR, determine the cut-off values for each frequency, and detect the best correlated frequencies when compared with the ABR thresholds. 277 A Comparison of Thresholds of Auditory Steady-State Response and Auditory Brainstem Response in Healthy Term Babies OBJECTIVE:The goal of this study was to assess the effectiveness of auditory steady-state response (ASSR), determine the cut-off values for each frequency, and detect the best correlated frequencies when compared with the auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds in term babies under the age of 12 months. MATERIALS and METHODS:In total, 88 term babies with a mean age of 2.98 (1-11) months (174 ears) underwent ASSR and ABR tests. The ASSR thresholds for the frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz were compared with the hearing level of the ABR thresholds. In the ABR test, a cutoff value of 30 dB nHL was selected for normal hearing. In addition, the best correlation between the ABR and ASSR thresholds and the estimated cut-off thresholds of ASSR for each of the abovementioned frequencies were obtained. RESULTS:In total, 135 ears had values indicating normal hearing ability and 39 ears had hearing loss according to the ABR thresholds. Although stat...
