title: Brain stem evoked response (wave V) latency to filtered pulses.
abstract: BSER-Wave v latencies were obtained to filtered pulses centered at .25, .5, 1, 2, 4, and 6.3 kc/s presented monaurally at a rate of 10/sec to 7 normal-hearing Ss, aged 20-29 yrs, at 50, 40, 30, and 20 db HL. Wave V latencies were measured from the first compression of the stimulus waveform. BSERs were extractable at all frequency and intensity combinations except that they were not recoverable from some Ss at 20 db HL at .25 and .5 kc/s. A decrease in frequency and intensity caused a systematic increase in Wave V latency and a depression in waveform amplitude. Wave V latency shifts due to frequency and intensity changes generally agreed with the results of other investigators.
