Comparison of pure tone audiometry and auditory steady-state responses thresholds in adults

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the reliability of auditory steady-state responses (ASSR) with pure tone audiometry (PTA) thresholds in adults.
• Compared ASSR and PTA thresholds in adults
• Analyzed discrepancies between ASSR and PTA in different audiometry types
• Assessed registered reliability of ASSR method
• ASSR showed reliable thresholds in adults
• Discrepancies between ASSR and PTA thresholds were evident in patients with slope types
• High frequency ASSR thresholds may be superior to PTA thresholds.
