An objective evaluation of retrocochlear function by means of CNT (Cochlear Nerve Tester).
Indications for hearing implants in profoundly deaf patients have been presented. Auditory pathway status was evaluated by application of electric stimulation of cochlear nerve. The electric stimulus originated from Cochlear Nerve Tester. Obtained sound sensations might be revealed on ABR pattern.
