[Multiple auditory steady-state responses to bone conduction stimuli].
OBJECTIVE
To assess the accuracy of threshold using the multiple auditory steady state responses (MASSR) to bone conduction stimuli in a group of patients with conductive hearing loss.


METHODS
Thirty patients with conductive hearing loss were assessed by MASSR and by pure-tone audiometry, and compared the results of these two methods.


RESULTS
The thresholds of MASSR and those of PTA were significantly correlated, and the accuracy of MASSR were similar to PTA for the patients with conductive hearing loss.


CONCLUSIONS
MASSR can be used to assess the hearing thresholds of patients with conductive hearing loss.
