IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering contains basic and applied papers dealing with biomedical engineering. Papers range from engineering development in methods and techniques with biomedical applications to experimental and clinical investigations with engineering contributions.
Integration of auditory evoked potential techniques in hearing aids potentially enable assessment of the users hearing on a regular basis. Hearing threshold levels can be estimated in the clinic using the objective EEG-based technique of auditory steady state response (ASSR)....

The auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is commonly used in clinical pediatric audiology to provide an electrophysiological estimate of hearing thresholds, and has the potential to be used in unsupervised mobile EEG applications. Enhancement of the ASSR amplitude through optimization of the stimulation and recording methods shortens the required testing time or reduce the offset between the electrophysiological and behavioral thresholds. In this study, the spatial distribution of the ASSR to broadband chirp stimuli is investigated across a wide range of repetition rates on the scalp and in the ears. Moreover, the ASSR amplitude is compared for commonly used electrode configurations...
