FACTS ABOUT HEARING AID FITTING IN NEWBORN BABIES
• It is very comon that at this age the only evidence that we have of the hearing sensitivity is an Auditory Evoked Potential Test.
• Most of us rely upon software-assisted automatic hearing aid fittings.
• In order to introduce the hearing threshold in this software we need to estimate a conventional audiogram (dB HL) from the physiological response (dB nHL).

Conclusions
• ASSR-PF can be a first step in fitting hearing aids to newborn babies.
• The ASSR-PF enable determinations of basic hearing aid properties such as: Gain, Compression and Maximum Output.
• Limitations of the ASSR-PF: – High variability of the amplitude of the ASSR.– Differences in the amplitude-intensity function
between adults and newborn babies. – Our reference group is based on normal hearing
adult subjects.
