Effects of Stimulus Repetition Rates on the Auditory Brainstem Response to Level-Specific CE-Chirp in Normal-Hearing Adults

摘要: Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence stimulus repetition rates on auditory brainstem response (ABR) Level-Specific (LS) CE-Chirp and click stimuli at multiple intensity levels in normal-hearing adults. Method A repeated-measure design was used 13 ABRs were acquired from participants using LS four (19.1, 33.3, 61.1, 81.1 Hz) (80, 60, 40, 20 dB nHL). ABR test stopped 40-nV residual noise level. Results High-stimulus caused latencies be longer have reduced amplitudes both stimuli. Wave I, III, V larger than almost all rates. However, there no differences number averages required reach stopping criterion between stimulus, high-stimulus low-stimulus Conclusion standard can elicit for neurodiagnostic threshold seeking procedure.
