Abstract

Steady-state Auditory Evoked Potentials at multiple frequencies (ASSR-Mf) have reached a wide diffusion in the objective evaluation of hearing and have usually been recorded in a simple set-up of a bipolar lead, so there are no reports that characterize them in a multi-channel record setup.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of the new multi-channel recording methodology of the ASSR-Mf with high spatial resolution and to determine the effect of the physical parameters of acoustic stimulation on its amplitude and phase.

Methods: A sample of 47 audiologically healthy young adults is studied. Monaural stimulation in the right ear with tones of 500 and 4000 Hz, amplitude modulated at 40 and 80 Hz. Recording is performed with the 10/20 montage and a modified 10/10 montage focused on the parietotemporal region of the left hemisphere.

Results: The PEAeeMf obtains a high detection percentage in all the recording leads, similar to those obtained in the standard recording, the recording lead has a significant effect on the detection and amplitude of the potential by modulation at 40 Hz, while the carrier and modulating frequencies have a significant effect on the amplitude and phase of the potential.

Conclusions: The multi-channel extended recording setup is effective for obtaining the MFEPE, so this design can be used with veracity for the design of optimized electroaudiometric evaluation protocols and for the study of the topography of auditory responses.
