An Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) test examines how well your ears and brain collaborate to process sound. It is an objective test used for the evaluation of hearing ability in children too young for traditional audiometric testing. Most children are referred for ASSR after a newborn hearing screen in the hospital indicates the possibility of hearing loss. Early intervention strategies, such as hearing devices or cochlear implantation, are necessary for the development of speech and language skills in a child with hearing impairment. The results obtained from ASSR testing can be used to estimate the behavioral pure-tone audiogram or Pure Tone Audiometry test. This information is essential in the management of children with hearing loss.
The ASSR test offers a reliable and efficient means of assessing hearing in various individuals. Here are some specific groups who may benefit from this test:
The brain activity is recorded using electrodes taped on the forehead and behind each ear. The use of electrodes eliminates the need for active participation by the patient (i.e., pushing a response button every time a tone is activated). The results are detected objectively using statistical formulas that determine the presence or absence of a true response. Similar to traditional audiometric testing, a threshold is determined as the lowest level at each frequency at which a response is present. ASSR provides an accurate, frequency-specific estimate of the behavioural pure-tone audiogram.
