Auditory brainstem response in neonates--an attempt to reduce the number of stimuli.
We tried to shorten the ABR testing time by reducing the number of stimuli. There was no difference in both the wave form and latency of each wave between 256 times-averaged ABR and 1,024 times-averaged ABR. The total testing time, using 256 stimuli, was about 20 minutes shorter than the testing time using 1,024 stimuli.
