Article: New audiology research has been reported by scientists at University of Ferrara.

"Pure-tone thresholds were used as the reference and compared with extrapolated distortion product otoacoustic emission input/output-functions and auditory steady state responses (ASSR) in hearing-impaired adults, using the Cochlea-Scan and Ancient devices. Fifty-three subjects presenting sensorineural deficits were included in the study," researchers in Ferrara, Italy report (see also Audiology).

"The DPOAE data were recorded using the detailed Cochlea-Scan threshold modality, and ASSR responses were assessed at 1.0. 2.0, and 4.0 kHz. The comparison between DPOAE and ASSR threshold values indicated significant mean differences across all tested frequencies. ...
