Introduction: Cortical auditory evoked potentials can provide objective information about the highest level of the auditory system. Aim: The purpose of the authors was to introduce a new tool, the “HEARLab” which can be routinely used in clinical practice for the measurement of the cortical auditory evoked potentials. In addition, they wanted to establish standards of the analyzed parameters in subjects with normal hearing. Method: 25 adults with normal hearing were tested with speech stimuli, and frequency specific examinations were performed utilizing pure tone stimuli. Results: The findings regarding the latency and amplitude analyses of the evoked potentials confirm previously published results of this novel method. Conclusions: The HEARLAb can be a great help when performance of the conventional audiological examinations is complicated. The examination can be performed in uncooperative subjects even in the presence of hearing aids. The test is frequency specific and does not require anesthesia. Orv.

Auditory evoked potentials (AEP) are used to evaluate the auditory pathways. Clinically the most useful AEPs are short-latency AEP, also known as brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs). As their name implies, BAEPs are used to assess the auditory pathways in the brainstem. This chapter focuses on BAEPs. The basic neuroanatomy of the generators of the BAEP waveforms is reviewed, followed by a detailed description of the techniques used to obtain BAEP and factors that may impact the results. A description of the interpretation and applications of BAEPs is provided with discussion of the significance of the changes in amplitude, absolute latencies, and interpeak latencies of the BAEP waveforms. An overview of other auditory evoked potentials is also provided.
