Modified T² Statistics for Improved Detection of Aided Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in Hearing-Impaired Infants.

ABSTRACT: The cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) is a change in neural activity in response to sound, and is of interest for audiological assessment of infants, especially those who use hearing aids. Within this population, CAEP waveforms are known to vary substantially across individuals, which makes detecting the CAEP through visual inspection a challenging task. It also means that some of the best automated CAEP detection methods used in adults are probably not suitable for this population. This study therefore evaluates and optimizes the performance of new and existing methods for aided (i.e., the stimuli are presented through subjects' hearing aid(s)) CAEP detection in infants with hearing loss. Methods include the conventional Hotellings T² test, various modified q-sample sta
