The auditory dysfunction is one of the most frequent disabilities, this condition can be diagnosed with an electroencephalogram modality called auditory evoked potentials (AEP). In this paper, we present a machine learning implementation to automatically detect and classify hearing loss conditions based on features extracted from synthetically generated brainstem auditory evoked potentials, a necessity given the scarcity of full-fledged datasets. The approach is based on a multi-player perceptron, which has demonstrated to be a useful and powerful tool in this domain. Preliminary results show very encouraging results, with accuracy results above 90% for a variety of hearing loss conditions; this system is to be deployed as hardware implementation for creating an affordable and portable medical device, as reported in previous work.
