Tympanometric measures in older adults.

abstract：:Human auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) were recorded using stimulus rates of 78-95 Hz in normal young subjects, in elderly subjects with relatively normal hearing, and in elderly subjects with sensorineural hearing impairment. Amplitude-intensity functions calculated relative to actual sensory thresholds (sensa...
