[Clinical usefulness of auditory brainstem responses in patients with sensorineural and mixed hearing loss]

The brain stem response (ABR) and pure tone audiometry was recorded in to patients: 23 with sensorineural and 17 with mixed hearing loss. The control group included 10 males and 10 females. The presented method (ABR) shows to be very useful for objective estimating the level of hearing lose and location of failure in auditory pathways. Particular statistics analysis of obtained results (wave V latency-intensity function) shows high correlation with a pure tone audiometry.
