[Multi-frequency steady-state response for clinic audiometry].
OBJECTIVE
To obtain the residual hearing by using multi-frequency steady-state response test in a group of deaf children and to compare the results with that of ABR.


METHODS
Both sides of ears of 278 deaf children had been tested while they were asleep.


RESULTS
Positive incidences of MFSSR at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz are 33.09%, 70.50%, 44.96%, 19.42% (left ears) and 33.81%, 66.91%, 41.07%, 17.63% (right ears) respectively. Except 4 kHz, the ratios at the other three frequencies are significant higher than that of ABR.


CONCLUSIONS
MFSSR is a promising objective audiometry, this kind of test could provide frequency-specific information for hearing diagnosis.
