The precision level of the objective hearing tests.
A comparative study was performed with 51 patients, using the stapedial reflex (ART), early auditory brain-stem responses (ABR), later auditory evoked potentials (SN10) and the audiogram, to assess the value of objective tests in the evaluation of the auditory level. The ABR and the SN10 are valid to determine the level of hearing. The ART s of limited value.
