With tone burst auditory brainstem responses, excellent agreement and correlation between evoked-potential and behavioral thresholds have been demonstrated by previous studies. This study investigated the effects of different ages and degrees of hearing loss on the agreement and correlation in a large series of infants and young children in Taiwan. Methods: Medical records were reviewed from a large series of 1281 infants and young children aged from 3 months to 3 years who had undergone diagnostic audiometry, including sound field audiometry and tone burst auditory brainstem response measurements. The effects of age and hearing loss on the agreement and correlation between two measured thresholds were studied. Results: Significant correlations (p<0.001) were seen between the two measured thresholds across groups of different ages and different degrees of hearing loss greater than 20 dB HL. However, the degree of correlation deteriorated at lower degrees of hearing loss. Correlations for hearing thresholds less than 20 dB HL were not significant at 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. Conclusion: The evoked-potentials test, properly obtained and interpreted with respect to the effects of age and degree of hearing loss, may provide a very informative hearing threshold reference to help in behavioral audiometric evaluation in infants and young children with hearing loss. ? 2008 Elsevier & Formosan Medical Association. |
