title: [Bimastoid leads and bilateral stimulation in the recording of auditory-evoked brain-stem potentials].
abstract: The recording of auditory brain stem potentials (ABR) with bimastoid leads and bilateral stimulation makes it possible to evaluate relative cochlear function and the type of hearing loss. The theoretical background for this technique and the results obtained in patients with disease of the internal-middle ear, cochlea, and auditory nerve are discussed.
