Abstract:
The auditory middle latency response (AMLR) was first reported 30 years ago. For a variety of reasons, the AMLR was relatively slow to gain clinical acceptance. However, renewed investigational efforts into the nature of the response is leading to a better understanding of the AMLR's characteristics, limitations, and appropriate clinical applications. This paper reviews the current status of the AMLR with regard to clinical utilization and proposes anticipated directions of clinical endeavors.
