Abstract
A new hearing screening semi-automatic system based on Multiple Auditory Steady-State Responses (MSSR) technique is presented here. It was implemented using the integrated development environment Delphi 7, and the specialized hardware AUDIX V (Neuronic S.A., Havana). For the MSSR testing we use a pre-set screening protocol and a semiautomatic algorithm. It was designed to be user-friendly and easy to operate for non-professionals, providing objective PASS/FAIL results that require no interpretation. This system can be a valid alternative for early detection of hearing impairments, and propose a methodology for a further development of fully automated screening equipment.
