摘要
This invention relates to an apparatus and method for assessing a subject's hearing by recording steady-state auditory evoked responses. The apparatus generates a steady-state auditory evoked potential stimulus, presents the stimulus to the subject, senses potentials while simultaneously presenting the stimulus and determines whether the sensed potentials contain responses to the stimulus. The stimulus may include an optimum vector combined amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal adjusted to evoke responses with increased amplitudes, an independent amplitude modulation and frequency modulation signal and a signal whose envelope is modulated by an exponential modulation signal. The apparatus is also adapted to reduce noise in the sensed potentials by employing sample weighted averaging. The apparatus is also adapted to detect responses in the sensed potentials via the Phase weighted T-test or Phase zone technique. The apparatus may further perform a number of objective audiological tests including latency tests, AM/FM discrimination tests, rate sensitivity tests, aided hearing tests, depth sensitivity tests, supra-threshold tests and auditory threshold tests. The apparatus is further adapted to perform multi-modality testing in which more than one sensory modality of the subject is tested simultaneously.
