title: Electric response audiometry: clinical applications.
abstract: Electric response audiometry is an exciting new development in the field of otology. At the present time it is the best objective audiometric test for predicting the threshold in infants or uncooperative patients. Brain stem audiometry is a valuable addition to the audiologic test battery for acoustic tumor diagnosis. Electrocochleography offers a means for the study of the function of the inner ear and the differentiation of types of sensorineural hearing impairment.
