Objective ULLs predicted from the intensity-amplitude function

Conclusions
• High intersubject variabilty in the amplitude-intensity function was found.
• Higher correlations was found for the 3 kHz carrier frequency.
• In general a stepper amplitude - intensity function were found for the left ear than for the rigth ear.
• ULL prediction based solely on individual ASSR amplitude-intensity function proved to be problematic.
