- Abstract
Objectives: To develop and test a new method for simultaneous air and bone conduction hearing screening using simultaneous air and bone Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) and Intensity-Ramping technique. Material and methods: Click air and bone conduction stimuli were presented simultaneously at different presentation rates. The ramping process allows for the stimulus intensity to vary 40-60 dB. A rate specific envelope detection filter was used to determine responses. Results: Data from 36 infants were analyzed. Response amplitudes were larger for bone conduction stimulation suggesting the presence of a possible conductive component. Air conduction responses were smaller in infants taking longer to pass screening. Conclusions: The proposed technique will allow for more accurate characterization of auditory function at the time of screening, more efficient management of hearing loss cases and implementation of more efficient rescreening policies.
