Abstract: Objective To investigate the impact of degree of hearing loss on auditory brainstem response predictions of behavioral thresholds. Methods During January 2012 to January 2016 period in Affiliated Hospital of Yan'an University, a total of 179 patients with different hearing loss degree (a total of 311 ears) patients were treated with auditory brainstem response (ABR), performed threshold behavior test, analyed the auditory brainstem electric response and behavioral threshold correlation and the factors that affect the ABR thresholds and behavioral threshold value and the threshold of ABR and correction factor and linear regression equation for different frequency stimulation. Results ABR threshold was positively related to threshold behavior for the different frequencies stimulation, ABR threshold could predicte threshold behavior(P＜0.05); ABR threshold value to predicte behavioral threshold difference error and the degree of hearing loss(P＜0.05), through the relevant correction factors can reduce the prediction error. Conclusion Auditory brainstem responses could effectively predicte the hearing loss in children with behavioural thresholds, differences between the degree of hearing loss influence auditory brainstem response and behavioral threshold value and constant correction coefficient was conducive to auditory brainstem electric response. The accuracy of the behavior threshold should be predicted.
