Conclusion
In our study, NB CE-Chirp ABR thresholds were found closer to PTA
thresholds than the TB ABR thresholds. NB CE-Chirp ABR significantly
shortens the test time. It has been observed that NB CE-Chirp ABR can be
used in the prediction of behavioral hearing thresholds in adults whose
behavioral hearing thresholds are difficult to determine. In mental
retarded patients with hearing loss, proper hearing aid adjustment can
be made as a result of accurate estimation of frequency specific hearing
thresholds. But the research needs to be repeated in larger samples
using appropriate randomization and blinded study protocol.
