Frequency Specificity of Narrowband Chirp and 2-1-2 Stimuli: Spectral Analyses
The NB CE-Chirp LS stimuli demonstrated poorer frequency specificity compared with that of the 2-1-2 tones. NB-chirp thresholds may therefore underestimate true thresholds, especially in steeply sloping hearing loss. Further studies are needed to investigate the cochlear place specificity of auditory brainstem responses to the NB CE-Chirp LS stimuli before recommending them for clinical use.
