Inter-interpreter agreement for ABR tracings. Results from 100 patients under otoneurologic investigation.
The auditory brainstem response (ABR) tracings of 100 patients under investigation for a neural lesion were examined independently by two audiologists. Each tracing for the ear under question was classified as normal or abnormal. There was 94% agreement. Suggestions are made as to how to establish quality control in audiology clinics.
