FAQ
A short guide to help in the selection of test protocol and for analyzing ABR test results.
What is ASSR?
An auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is an electrophysiological response that is evoked by a periodically repeated (rapid) auditory stimulus.
An ASSR typically uses frequency specific stimuli (0.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz) with the goal of creating an estimated audiogram. In other words, it is a test used for performing a threshold assessment.
What is ABR?
The Auditory Brainstem Response is an Evoked Potential that originates at the auditory nerve (Cranial Nerve VIII).
This test is used to assess the auditory system’s function from the cochlea through the brainstem.
How do I setup an ABRIS test protocol?
This quick guide outlines the procedure for creating a pass/refer ABRIS test protocol. Parameters and settings should be based on an appropriate pass/refer criterion.
What is ECochG?
Electrocochleography (ECochG) is a measure of the electrical potentials of the cochlea. Typically, the measurement is characterized by the stimulus onset (baseline), the response of the cochlea to the stimulus (summating potential - SP), and response to the synchronous firing of nerve fibers (action potential - AP).
What is eABR?
An electrical Auditory Brainstem Response (eABR) is a measurement of the ABR using an electrical stimulus. Instead of a traditional acoustic stimulus the cochlear implant (CI) or auditory brainstem implant (ABI) provides the stimulus that evokes the ABR.
