“…First, ASSRs can be measured at suprathreshold stimulus levels in ears with significant hearing loss and demonstrate similar amplitudes as normal-hearing individuals (Rodriguez et al, 1986;Vander Werff and Brown, 2005;Leigh-Paffenroth and Murnane, 2011). Second, ASSR amplitudes decrease in the presence of contralateral noise (Maki et al, 2009;Kawase et al, 2012;Kiyokawa et al, 2012;Usubuchi et al, 2014), which may be due at least in part to MOC activity. Third, contralateral suppression of auditory neural responses is often larger than contralateral suppression of OAEs (Puria et al, 1996;Chabert et al, 2002;Lichtenhan et al, 2016).…”
