Abstract
A frequency-specific, objective assessment of hearing thresholds is required for use in subjects unable to perform behavioural audiometry. One such method using steady-state evoked potentials (SSEPs) in response to amplitude-modulated tones was evaluated in an experimental animal, the macaque monkey. An amplitude-modulation frequency of 165 Hz was found to produce optimum response detection in the anaesthetised animal. Auditory thresholds determined by a computerised automatic response detection system accurately reflected behavioural thresholds previously described in this species.Mesh:
