Predicting Behavioral Threshold at 6 and 8 kHz for Children and Adults Based on the Auditory Brainstem Response.

Initial evidence suggests that ABR testing at 6 and 8 kHz is reliable for estimating behavioral threshold in listeners with hearing loss and accurately identifies normal hearing sensitivity. The results of this study contribute to efforts to improve outcomes for vulnerable populations by reducing barriers to clinical implementation of ABR testing at > 4 kHz.
