Overview
The retrospective study compares the results of an estimated audiogram obtained by measuring of Steady StateEvoked Potentials with a classical audiogram. SSEP is a relatively new method of hearing threshold estimatingused in our department since 1999. The main advantage is frequency specificity. Till now 1270 ears in 648 patientswere examined. A group of 30 patients in which both methods of measuring were possible is evaluated. The firstresults are favourable - they demonstrate a high benefit especially in pediatric audiology in the youngest age group.
