Introduction: Universal neonatal hearing screening (UNHS) is performed by examining brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP), in the population with a risk indicator for hearing loss. The auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is an objective and automatic technique for determining hearing thresholds by specific frequency, but still little explored before hospital discharge. Objective: to analyze the results obtained in the BAEP and RAEE tests in infants with risk indicators for hearing loss, before hospital discharge, with and without failure in UNHS. Methods: Prospective analytical observational study carried out in infants at risk for hearing loss and who underwent BAEP and ASSR in the same session. Results: 66 infants attempted the inclusion criteria, of both genders, the median age was 1.2 months, the mean gestational age was 31 weeks and the mean weight at birth was 1601 g. 53 (80%) infants, called G1, had normal BAEP, and 13 (20%) had abnormal BAEP, called G2. The electrophysiological thresholds of ASSR were statistically lower in infants of G1. Conclusion: There was a relationship between the findings of the BAEP and ASSR exams in infants at risk for hearing loss, when performed before hospital discharge. The median of the ASSR electrophysiological thresholds was lower for the infants who had normal BAEP and higher for those who had abnormal BAEP in the UNHS.
