Objective: Hearing threshold levels have been estimated successfully in the clinic using the objective electroencephalogram (EEG) based technique of auditory steady-state response (ASSR). The recent method of ear-EEG could enable ASSR hearing tests to be performed in everyday life, rather than in a...
