On the combination of otometry with brainstem-evoked response audiometry.

Compound action potentials (AP) are measured in guinea pigs during stimulation with damped waves or with tone bursts. Results are compared in order to investigate whether damped waves are suitable stimuli for brainstem-evoked response audiometry. This investigation was done because a combination of brainstem-evoked response audiometry with otometry was recently proposed. Otometry is a hearing aid fitting method using damped waves as acoustic stimuli.
