Acesso em: 02 maio 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/52293Purpose: Critically analyze the need to use contralateral masking in the measurement of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) by air conduction on unilateral or bilateral asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss by means of a systematic literature review. Research strategy: A search was conducted at the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, ADOLEC, IBECS, SciELO, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase electronic databases, proceedings of the International Meeting of Audiology and the Brazilian Congress of Speech-language Pathology and Audiology, and bases of institutions with Graduate Studies Programs in Speech-language Pathology and Audiology, using the following descriptors: Evoked Potentials, Auditory, Brainstem, Perceptual Masking, Hearing Loss, and Sensorineural. Selection criteria: Studies with levels of evidence from 1 to 5 published in Portuguese, English or Spanish until January 2018 were selected. The articles should address the need to use contralateral masking in the measurement of air-conduction ABR in individuals with unilateral or bilateral asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss. Results: A total of 334 studies were found, and eight of them met the pre-established criteria. The studies included in the review were controversial as to the need for contralateral masking. Conclusion: There is no consensus on the need to use contralateral masking in the measurement of ABR by air conduction in individuals with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss; however, most studies report the use of contralateral masking in the measurement of ABR with click stimulus in individuals with severe and profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss.Atribuição-NãoComercial 3.0 Brasilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/br/Potenciais evocados auditivos do tronco encefálicomascaramento perceptivoperda auditiva neurossensorialeletrofisiologiarevisão sistemáticaarticlehttps://doi.org/10.1590/2317-6431-2018-2108
