The auditory brain stem response to click stimuli was investigated in a group of 50 full-term healthy newborns, as well as in a group of 20 older children and adults. The stimulus parameters of click level and click repetition rate were varied systematically to quantify the characteristics of the auditory brain stem response in the full-term newborn infant. The results reveal increased latencies for waves I, III, and V for all conditions among the newborns, relative to the older age group. The results suggest that the neurological system is the primary source of differences between newborns and older subjects, but do not rule out the possibility that external ear, middle ear, or cochlear mechanisms may also contribute to the differences observed.

Auditory brain stem responses (ABR) were recorded in 15 audiometrically and neurologically normal adult subjects. The purpose of the study was to investigate various aspects of stimulus composition (intensity, click rate, and polarity) and response measurement parameters (band-pass filtering and electrode linkage) that might serve to enhance detectability of wave I in the ABR. Amplitude of wave I was significantly enhanced by an increase in intensity, a decrease in click rate, and use of a negative (rarefaction) polarity click. Amplitude of wave I was not significantly influenced by bandwidth of the response filter or by a horizontal (mastoid-to-mastoid) electrode linkage. Use of simultaneous response acquisition from an ipsilateral and contralateral reference electrode array did aid in the detection or visualization of wave I, particularly for lower stimulus intensity levels or faster click rates.

Auditory brain stem response (ABR) is more commonly used to evaluate cochlear lesions than cochlear compound action potential (CAP). In a noise-induced cochlear damage model, we found that the reduced CAP and enhanced ABR caused the threshold difference. In a unilateral cochlear destruction model, a shadow curve of the ABR from the contralateral healthy ear masked the hearing loss in the destroyed ear.
