Abstract
Background and Objectives: To compare correlation between the pure tone audiometry (PTA), the auditory brainstem response (ABR) and the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) for the assessment of hearing disability in adults. Subjects and Methods: One hundred sixty adult patients who underwent ASSR for the disability evaluation of hearing from 2010 to 2016 were enrolled to this study. Correlations between PTA, ABR and ASSR thresholds were analyzed. Results: Both ABR and ABBR showed a positive linear correlation with the average hearing threshold of PTA, but the correlation between ASSR and PTA was significantly higher than that between ABR and ABR. The highest correlation between ASSR and PTA was observed at an average of 2 kHz; ABR and PTA at 4 kHz. The lowest correlation between ASSR and PTA was observed at an average of 4 kHz ; ABR and PTA at 0.5 kHz. Conclusions: Compared to ABR, ASSR showed greater correlation with PTA to assess the hearing disability in adults. ASSR can provide additional audiometric information for accurately predicting the hearing level. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2017;28:192–198)
