ItemThe use of click-ABR and steady state evoked potentials for hearing assessment in young cochlear implant candidates [Abstract]Rance, G. ; Dowell, Richard, C. ; Richards, F. W. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1997)The accurate assessment of hearing thresholds in prospective cochlear implant candidates is essential. As the minimum age of implantation has reduced, audiologists have been faced with the complicated task of obtaining precise audiometric information in children whose immaturity may severely restrict the assessment process. Clearly for these young candidates, there is a place for a reliable, objective measure of residual hearing in the pre-operative test battery. This paper examines the degree of accuracy with which the click-ABR and the steady-state evoked potential (SSEP) techniques can provide estimates of hearing level in subjects with several profound hearing loss.

ItemEvoked potential assessment of children with severe/profound hearing loss: a comparison of steady-state evoked potential (SSEP) and behavioural hearing threshold levels in subjects with absent click evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABR)Rance, G. ; Dowell, Richard, C. ; Rickards, F. W. ; Clark, Graeme M. (Monduzzi Editore, 1997)Steady-state evoked potential testing offers a means of obtaining accurate, frequency specific estimates of hearing threshold in subjects with even severe to total hearing losses. As such, the technique can play an important role in the preoperative evaluation of young cochlear implant candidates.
