Popis: This review describes the Auditory Steady State Responses (ASSRs) and the general procedure to implement them, from the electrode placement to the signal processing techniques. ASSRs are commonly used to assess hearing thresholds. Since they are responses to acoustic modulated sinusoidal stimuli, they are phase locked, and they have the same frequency of the stimuli. These characteristics provide some advantages in comparison with the conventional hearing assessment techniques. However, many studies have been applied to prove the reliability of ASSRs, and there is still disagreement regarding this attribute. Investigations were used to present the different methods applied in every ASSRs implementation stage (electrode placement techniques, auditory stimuli, noise reduction methods, and signal processing). In the last part of this paper, some applications are mentioned that differ with the common purpose which is hearing assessment.
