[Correlation of the latency shift and brain stem potentials in basocochlear hearing loss and the time course of the click stimulus-induced evoked wave in the cochlea].
Frequency-specific information on high tone loss in the inner ear can, and if so only indirectly, be obtained from changes in latency of the click-evoked brain stem potential (ABR). The relationship between latency increases of the Jewett-wave-V in basocochlear hearing loss and the time course of the travelling wave on the basilar membrane will be presented. The latency increases of basocochlear hearing loss at 2 kHz, 1 kHz and 500 Hz correspond to both the computer-simulated time course of the travelling wave and to those of the derived responses. From a pathophysiological standpoint, receptor cells in basocochlear hearing loss are not functional, beginning at the oval window, so that, dependent on the degree of inactivity, a delay corresponding to that of the time course of the travelling wave passes until active hair cells are reached and action potentials released that produce, when summed up a potential of delayed latency.
