ABSTRACT
Brainstem evoked response audiometry is useful in the identification of threshold levels as well as in the diagnosis of eighth nerve tumors. The instrumentation is a modification of the electroencephalograph and an averaging computer; 3,000 clicks, 16/s, are presented and averaged for each printed response. Evoked responses can be obtained from a patient who is unable or unwilling to respond to conventional behavioral testing; best results are obtained from quiet or asleep patients.
