Authors' objectives:
To evaluate the available evidence on efficacy, safety and coverage policy related issues on the use of steady-state auditory evoked potentials (ASSR) in patients with hypoacusia who cannot collaborate.
Authors' recommendations:
The studies published on the diagnostic profile of ASSR compared with ABR are few and of poor methodological quality. In this sense, clinical guidelines as well as other HTA documents and the health sponsors evaluated mention this technology and consider ASSR cannot replace ABR, but might become part of the diagnostic workup in patients with hypoacusia in some selected cases.
