Abstract:
:The reliability of the Auditory Steady State Response (ASSR) has not been thoroughly evaluated despite its recent application as a clinical tool for threshold estimation. The purpose of this study was to examine test-retest (TR) reliability of ASSR threshold estimates in an empirical research design. The ASSR, tested using modulation frequencies approximately 80 Hz and above, was evaluated against pure tone audiometry (PTA), and the slow vertex potential (SVP, N1-P2). Sixteen normal-hearing young female adults were tested twice, one week apart. Varying degrees of sensorineural hearing loss of a notched configuration were simulated with filtered masking noise. Test-retest reliability was assessed using Pearson-product moment correlation analysis, supplemented by other post-hoc analyses. Results demonstrated moderately strong TR reliability for ASSR at 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz (r = 0.83-0.93); however, the reliability of ASSR at 500 Hz was weaker (r = 0.75). Results suggest that ASSR-ERA is a reliable test at mid-high frequencies, at least with the configuration and degrees of simulated sensorineural hearing loss examined in this study.
