5 | CONCLUSION
Among patients with SSNHL of ≤ 90 dB HL, 40% of patients had one or
more worse ASSR predicted thresholds compared to pure-tone thresholds.
Patients with a worse ASSR had greater last pure-tone thresholds than
patients without a worse ASSR. The ASSR grouping was significantly
associated with hearing recovery in SSNHL. Therefore, ASSR measurements
can be used to predict the hearing prognosis of SSNHL.
