Summary
Focusing on the auditory branstem response (ABR) and its applications in evaluating neural disorders and hearing
sensitivity, Clinical Applications of the Auditory Brainstem Response is an essential tool for every audiologist.
This practical, hands-on manual provides the information necessary to understand the bases for and applications
of the auditory brainstem response in clinical practice, presenting substantive, valuable information on both performance
and interpretation of the measures.
Benefits :
An invaluable, "hands-on" practical guide to understanding the base for and applications of ABR
Describes clearly measurement techniques, instrumentation, stimulus parameters, recording parameters and subject
variables that can affect the responses
Discusses clinical applications of the auditory brainstem response in neurological evaluation
Includes many cases studies to highlight the principles and techniques covered in the manual
Discusses applications of the ABR in newborn hearing screening and intraoperative monitoring
