title: [The ECochG in patients with auditory neuropathy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to investigate the ECochG in subjects with auditory neuropathy (AN).
  
  
  METHODS
  The ECochG was recorded from ear canal electrode in patients with auditory neuropathy and normal subjects. The difference of their -SP amplitudes was compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The -SP was present in all AN ears and its amplitudes were significantly larger than those in normal subjects (P < 0.01). A low amplitude wave AP was present in 84% AN ears.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The -SP was present in all AN ears and its amplitudes were larger.
