title: Abnormal brainstem response audiometry in normal patients.
abstract: Brainstem response audiometry is a technique which is objective, reliable, and non-invasive. Analysis of tracings performed on 200 subjects with no detectable clinical abnormalities inexplicably revealed an 8.5% of major anomalies. In order to avoid false interpretation, it is important to remember that brainstem response audiometry should serve only as an adjunct to other clinical techniques.
