Abstract
Objective

To discover the thresholds of normality of the tests of ABR and ASSR in free-field stimulation compared with headphones.

Methods

Descriptive study of a series of cases of children without hearing loss carried out between April 2016 and January 2017. The ABR and conventional ASR were performed using insert headphones and free-field stimulation.

Results

Fifty-four ears were evaluated with absolute criteria of normality. The mean age was 16.7 months (SD = 5.7). The evocation of the action potential at 70 dBs in the free-field showed a mean on wave I of 3.47 ms, on wave II of 4.01, on wave III of 5.97, on wave IV of 6.71 and on wave V of 8.22. There is a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) between the value obtained with insert earphones and the free-field on wave I (mean difference 1.91), on wave III (1.88), on wave IV (1.69) and on wave V (1.95), their being higher in stimulus in free field. There were no statistically significant differences in the interlatencies. The responses in the ASSR with free-field showed an increase of 1.56 min compared to the headphones.

Conclusions

The thresholds obtained in ABR by free-field were differentiated from those obtained by headphones in the increase of latencies, caused by delayed stimulation of the ear due to the distance between the sound source and the eardrum. Both tests are feasible by free-field stimulation, which would allow them to be applied routinely to patients on whom conventional tests cannot be performed.

Resumen
Objetivo

Conocer los umbrales de normalidad de las pruebas de ABR y ASSR en campo libre comparadas con los auriculares de inserción.

Métodos

Estudio observacional descriptivo de una series de casos de niños sin hipoacusia en el periodo de tiempo entre abril de 2016 y enero de 2017, a los que se realiza ABR y ASSR convencionales utilizando auriculares de inserción y mediante campo libre.

Resultados

Fueron valorados 54 oídos con criterios absolutos de normalidad. La edad media fue de 16,7 meses (DE = 5,7) con un rango de edad comprendido entre los 6 y los 24 meses. La evocación del potencial de acción a 70 dBs en campo libre mostró una media de onda I de 3,47 ms (DE = 0,59 ms), onda II de 4,01 (DE = 0,31), onda III de 5,97 (DE = 0,61), onda IV de 6,71 (DE = 0,67) y onda V de 8,22 (DE = 0,51).Se encuentra una diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p < 0,05) en el valor obtenido con auriculares de inserción o en campo libre en la onda I (diferencia media 1,91), en la onda III (1,88), en la onda IV (1,69) y en la onda V (1,95), siendo mayores en campo libre. No se encuentran diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las interlatencias. Las respuestas en el ASSR mediante campo libre presentaron un incremento de 1,56 minutos en comparación a los auriculares de inserción.

Conclusiones

Los umbrales obtenidos en ABR mediante campo libre son superponibles a los realizados con auriculares de inserción, únicamente se diferencian en el aumento de las latencias, manteniendo las interlatencias, ocasionado por el retraso de estimulación del oído debido a la distancia entre la fuente sonora y el tímpano. Ambas pruebas son realizables mediante campo libre lo que permitiría aplicarlas de manera rutinaria y a pacientes donde no se les pueden realizar las convencionales.
