Assesment protocol
- ABR - 4kHz tone pip, ideally as the first investigation
- if ABR tone pip responses are absent or very abnormal, ABR click at 85dBeHL and ideally using insert earphones
- if ABR click is absent or severely abnormal at 75dBeHL, an outer hair cell function test must be performed.
4. there are 2 option, performed at least one:-
-diagnostic OAEs
-Diagnostic OAEs- TEOAE are recommended. If result is robust OAE, clearly present and repeatable, assume ANSD may be present.
-Cochlear Microphonic
-Cochlear Microphonic- perform click CM with separate runs of condensation and rarefaction at the same stimulus level, using insert earphones. If CM is present and there is still no later true neural ABR response, assume ANSD may be present.

Definition
ANSD is defined as a sensorineural hearing loss that affects a person’s ability to hear or understand speech.
Sensorineural means that this disorder is due to a lesion or defect in the inner ear, auditory nerve, or the connection between the nerve and brain. As a result, sound enters through the ear but doesn’t get adequately transmitted to the brain.
