Normative data were collected on 48 subjects to determine the effects of increasing stimulus rates on the auditory brainstem response. These subjects were then compared to 221 patients referred for otoneurologic evaluation. The 90 patients with impaired auditory sensitivity demonstrated significantly less wave V latency shift than either the 131 patients with normal auditory sensitivity or the normal subjects. The incidence of abnormal wave V latency shift was 12% in the patients with normal auditory sensitivity and 8% in the patients with impaired auditory sensitivity. The high stimulus rate was often the only abr parameter indicative of brainstem involvement in patients with documented CNS pathology. The authors conclude that a high stimulus rate contributes to the diagnosis of brainstem pathology often enough to warrant its routine use.

Twelve spasmodic dysphonia patients were evaluated by three different auditory brainstem response parameters; 75 % were abnormal. Three of the 12 had prolonged wave I-V interpeak latency. Seven had pathologic wave V latency shifts at a high stimulus rate. Amplitude ratios were normal for all subjects. The authors hypothesize that spasmodic dysphonia is a disorder of variable cranial nerve symptom presentations, and offer several possible models to account for its sporadic representation in the nervous system.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of stimulus repetition rates on the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to Level-Specific (LS) CE-Chirp and click stimuli at multiple intensity levels in normal-hearing adults. Method A repeated-measure study design was used on 13 normal-hearing adults. ABRs were acquired from the study participants using LS CE-Chirp and click stimuli at four stimulus repetition rates (19.1, 33.3, 61.1, and 81.1 Hz) and four intensity levels (80, 60, 40, and 20 dB nHL). The ABR test was stopped at 40-nV residual noise level. Results High-stimulus repetition rates caused the ABR latencies to be longer and have reduced amplitudes in both ABR to LS CE-Chirp and click stimuli. The ABR to LS CE-Chirp Wave I, III, and V amplitudes were larger than ABR to click in almost all the stimulus repetition rates. However, there were no differences in the number of averages required to reach the stopping criterion between ABR to LS CE-Chirp and click stimulus, and between high-stimulus repetition rates and low-stimulus repetition rates. Conclusion The LS CE-Chirp at standard low-stimulus repetition rates can be used to elicit ABR for both neurodiagnostic and threshold seeking procedure.
