[Ultrasound hearing by humans: objectivation with brain stem potentials (author's transl)]

Early acoustic evoked potentials (brain stem evoked response) may be received by bone conduction after ultrasound irritation (40 kHz). In comparison with the brain stem potential which is received by the some bone conduction by 4 kHz there are differences in the pattern of the potential and in the latency shift. It may be thought of a retro-cochleare perception of the ultrasound because of the 1 msec earlier potential.
