Resumo: |
The implementation of Universal Newborn hearing screening aims at earlier diagnosis and intervention for hearing impaired children. The use of hearing aids is one of the most important elements of the intervention process focused on the development of oral language. Brainstem evoked auditory response - ABR using click or frequency specific tone bursts have limitations in terms of presenting the stimulus in free field. The use of Auditory Steady State Response- ASSR in early diagnosis and hearing aid evaluation has been referred in the literature and appears to be promising for obtaining minimal levels of response for children that are not able to give behavioral auditory responses, particularly aided responses in free field. The goal of the study was to discuss the responses of hearing impaired children obtained with ASSR in free field, within the different audiological procedures for verification and validation of the prescribed eletroacoustic characteristics of the hearing aids. Results on the ASSR of six children with severe hearing loss were analyzed . These children were enrolled at the Educational Audiology Program of at The Center for Hearing in Children at DERDIC- PUCSP, and were regular hearing aid users. All subjects had: pure tone audiometry and ASSR with phones and in free field aided and unaided. Correlations were obtained between different conditions in order to discuss the possible contributions of the ASSR in the evaluation of hearing aids benefit. There was a strong correlation between the response levels obtained in the aided free field audiometry and aided free field ASSR. The correlation was weaker under the earphone condition probably due to the degree of hearing loss of the subjects that participated in the study. There seems to be a good potential for the use of free field aided responses using SSR in clinical conditions as an additional information on hearing aid benefit |
