The narrow-band CE-Chirp Level Specific and narrow-band iChirp stimuli provided similar estimates of electrophysiological auditory thresholds in children with hearing impairments, giving accurate estimations of behavioral thresholds. The time it took to complete the assessment is comparable between both stimuli. For the narrow-band iChirp, the degree of hearing loss was shown to impact the testing time, and children with profound hearing loss underwent faster exams. Ultimately, this study exhibits significant clinical implications as it reveals that the narrow-band CE-Chirp Level Specific and narrow-band iChirp stimuli could be remarkably promising for clinically exploring electrophysiological thresholds in children with hearing impairments.
