title: Auditory brain-stem response audiometry in children.
abstract: Auditory Brain-stem Response (ABR) Audiometry, also called Brain-stem Evoked Response Audiometry, is an effective procedure for assessing the hearing of children who cannot or will not perform satisfactorily on behavioral audiometric tests. Although ABR audiometry has limitations, it does permit an estimate of hearing status in nearly all children regardless of their age or developmental level.
