Intro to Auditory Electrophysiology

This site presents case studies in audiology, organized by the links to the right.

The cases use problem-based learning strategies. Students are encouraged to research questions raised if they have not yet had coursework on a given topic.

The goals for this case series are as follows:

  • Recognize normal and abnormal neurodiagnostic auditory brainstem response findings
  • Determine the lowest intensity evoking the ABR and use that information to predict hearing threshold.
  • Identify the cochlear microphonic on ABR traces.

We thank all those who submitted the cases.
