  • Title: Threshold prediction from the auditory 40-Hz evoked potential.
    Author: Lynn JM, Lesner SA, Sandridge SA, Daddario CC.
    Journal: Ear Hear; 1984; 5(6):366-70. PubMed ID: 6510584.
    Abstract:
    This is an investigation of the accuracy with which the 40-Hz evoked potential (EP) threshold can be used to predict low frequency behavioral audiometric thresholds. The EP thresholds for 500 and 1000 Hz tone bursts were compared with behavioral thresholds obtained from 40 hearing-impaired ears. Correlation coefficients (between EP and behavioral thresholds) of 0.79 and 0.87 were obtained for the 500 and 1000 Hz signals, respectively. Confidence intervals for EP estimates of behavioral thresholds were -10 to +30 dB for 500 Hz signals and -20 to +20 for 1000 Hz. Problems associated with the use of the EP for predicting behavioral thresholds are discussed.
