conclusions the assr can accurately predict the degree and configuration of hearing loss and discriminate the normal hearing from mild or moderate hearing loss and mild from moderate hearing loss, except for 500 hz. the air-conducted assr could not define the type of hearing loss. results the assr accurately estimates the behavioral thresholds as well as flat and sloping configurations. there w...

UNLABELLED Auditory evoked brainstem responses (ABR) is a non-invasive electrical potential registration which evaluates the auditory tract from the middle ear to the auditory cortex in the first 12 milliseconds (ms). The ABR is an important otoneurological evaluation. AIM Confirm the test's usefulness, major incidence and topography according to are range gender considering the absolute late...

Owing to its subjective nature, behavioral pure-tone audiometry often is an unreliable testing method in uncooperative subjects, and assessing the true hearing threshold becomes difficult. In such cases, objective tests are used for hearing-threshold determination (i.e., auditory brainstem evoked potentials [ABEP] and frequency-specific auditory evoked potentials: slow negative response at 10 m...

OBJECTIVE To study the clinico-etiological profile of children with intellectual disability using an algorithmic approach. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Tertiary care centre in Northern India. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive children aged 3 months to 12 years, presenting with intellectual disability, confirmed by Developmental Assessment Scale for Indian Infants, Binet Kulshreshtha Test ...

Neonates younger than the age of 12 weeks (10 full-term, 20 preterm) had an audiological assessment consisting of brainstem audiometry, tympanometry, transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions, and spontaneous otoacoustic emissions with contralateral white noise stimulation. Results from brainstem audiometry, tympanometry, and transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions suggested normal middle ear f...

BACKGROUND brainstem auditory evoked potentials in brain death. AIM to verify the agreement between the response in the auditory brainstem audiometry and the clinical outcome, analyzing the pattern of responses to electric stimulation. METHOD a cross-sectional study performed in 30 patients with Glasgow coma score of 3, submitted to the auditory brainstem audiometry and followed up until th...

OBJECTIVE To determine the status of cochlea, auditory pathway and hearing threshold by recording brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and electrocochleography in patients with idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSNHL). STUDY DESIGN Observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Clinical Physiology at King Abdul Aziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabi...

Speech audiometry is a method for assessing the ability of the auditory system using speech sounds as stimuli. A list of phonemically balanced bisyllabic consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel (c-v-c-v) Malay words was produced. All the bisyllabic words (c-v-c-v) thought to be commonly used in everyday conversations were listed from the Dewan Bahasa dictionary and their suitability assessed. The chose...
