Assessing Hearing Sensitivity with A.S.S.R

Assessing Hearing Sensitivity with A.S.S.R

The Auditory Steady-State Response (A.S.S.R) test is an advanced, objective way of determining hearing thresholds, along with a measure of the system's response to continuous sound. It is a behavioral test. In contrast, A.S.S.R does not require active participation, thus making it viable in assessing hearing, especially for infants, young children, and those who cannot cooperate in routine hearing tests. Test A.S.S.R measures brain activity in response to repeated auditory stimuli, and the results provide a good estimate of the sensitivity of hearing across various frequencies.

A.S.S.R Tests and Grades of Hearing Loss

Advanced A.S.S.R diagnostics provide good judgments of hearing ability for both children and adults.
Fast diagnosis can ensure satisfactory remedial treatment with proper rehabilitation.

Normal Hearing (0-25 dB)

Stable responses are recorded at soft sound levels at all frequencies tested; thus, hearing is undisturbed.

Mild Hearing Loss (26-40 dB)

Responses are slightly lower and missing some softer sounds. People often find it difficult in a noisy environment or in listening carefully to faint speech sounds.

Moderate Hearing Loss (41-55 dB)

A.S.S.R shows lower responses for the conversational sound level, which may affect language acquisition, speech clarity, and socializing.

Moderate-Severe Hearing Loss (56-70 dB)

Responses are greatly reduced at lower intensities. Voices in normal conversation are missed without amplification such as hearing aids.

Severe Hearing Loss (71-90 dB)

Only under extreme intensities are responses recorded. Normal speech communication becomes extremely difficult without strong amplification devices.

Profound Hearing Loss (>90 dB)

A.S.S.R may not produce any responses even under the highest intensity; such cases are routed towards cochlear implants or specialized hearing solutions, enabling effective communication.
