title: The click-evoked post-auricular myogenic response in normal subjects.
abstract: The presence of the posterior auricular myogenic reflex was infectigated in healthy subjects. Click stimuli were delivered alternately to each ear and both ipsilateral and contralateral responses were recorded simultaneously. Smiling and head down position increased the number of responses. With this method, in contrast to previous findings, it was possible to demonstrate bilateral auditory reception in 89% of the 45 subjects studied.
