Acoustic and hearing aid circuit variables affecting the tolerability of aided impulsive-type sounds.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Multiple auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) to stimuli modulated at approximately 80 Hz are a promising technique for threshold estimation in infants, but additional data are required. RESEARCH DESIGN:We obtained multiple ASSRs to air-conducted (AC) stimuli. STUDY SAMPLE:There were 54 chil...
