Abstract

Brain stem audiory evoked response (BAER) audiometry is a non-invasive and objective measure of a subject’s auditory function. The present paper attempts to establish normative data in Indian subjects. It was found that the BAER can detect asymptomatic high frequency hearing losses. Wave V’s threshold, latency and amplitude, along with comparisons between the auditory (subjective) and BAER threshold, are useful parameters in testing for organic and non-organic hearing disorders.
