Materials and Methods: After being assessed, 45 children of both sexes, ranging in age from 5 to 15, were split into four groups: 10 with moderate to moderately severe sensorineural hearing loss (G2M); 10 with steeply sloping sensorineural hearing loss (G2D); 10 with profound and severe sensorineural hearing loss (G2S); and 15 with normal hearing (G1). ASSR, tympanometry, acoustic reflex testing, pure tone audiometry, and speech audiometry (SRT and SDT) were performed. Results: The electrophysiological maximum in the group with normal hearing thresholds varied from 19 to 27 dB NA. The correlation in the group with moderate to moderately severe hearing loss was 0.42\u20130.74. The correlation in the steeply sloping hearing loss group was 0.68\u20130.94. The correlation in the group of people with profound and severe hearing loss was 0.59\u20130.86. The normal hearing group\u2019s mean differences in ASSR threshold and audiometric threshold ranged from \u22120.3 to 12 dB, in the moderate and moderately severe hearing loss group from \u22129 to 2 dB, in the steeply sloping hearing loss group from 1.4 to 7.5 dB, and in the severe and profound hearing loss group from \u22120.40 to 8.5 dB. Conclusion: As expected, there was no strong relationship between behavioural and electrophysiological thresholds in the group with normal hearing. But in children with hearing loss, there was a strong correlation between electrophysiological and behavioural thresholds; this relationship was especially evident in children with severe and profound hearing loss and those with steeply sloping hearing loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14151617","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T13:04:59Z","timestamp":1721999099000},"page":"1617","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Auditory Steady-State Response and the Relationship between Electrophysiological and Behavioural Thresholds"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Cyntia Barbosa Laureano","family":"Luiz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Hearing-Language, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04044-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8647-6813","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Hearing-Language, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04044-020, Brazil"},{"name":"Post-Graduate Program in Clinical Audiology, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein, S\u00e3o Paulo 05652-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Clinic of Audiology, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04044-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4978-1915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr Henryk","family":"Skarzynski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Teleaudiology and Screening, World Hearing Center, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"ENT Department, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University, 20-031 Lublin, Poland"},{"name":"Center of Hearing and Speech Medincus, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Institute of Sensory Organs, 05-830 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Heart Failure and Cardiac Rehabilitation Department, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"World Hearing Center, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3340-1698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena Beata","family":"Skar\u017cy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacotherapy and Pharmaceutical Care, Pharmaceutical Department, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Institute of Sensory Organs, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Center of Hearing and Speech, 05-830 Nadarzyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3647-3999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milaine Dominici","family":"Sanfins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Hearing-Language, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04044-020, Brazil"},{"name":"Post-Graduate Program in Clinical Audiology, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein, S\u00e3o Paulo 05652-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Clinic of Audiology, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04044-020, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Teleaudiology and Screening, World Hearing Center, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marisa Frasson de","family":"Azevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Hearing-Language, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo 04044-020, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Lins, O.G.
