Assessment of Electrically Evoked Auditory Brain Stem Response of 30 Implanted Patients With Nucleus Multichannel Cochlear Implant

Methods and Materials: Investigation of electrically evoked auditory brain stem response (EABR) is a new issue, especially in implanted patients. Experiments were performed in C.I Center of Iranian Institute for Science and research expansion,1996 on 30 implanted patients with 22 spectra and MSP cochlear implant system and 30 normal subjects with the range of 3-33 years. Findings: I- EABR was obtained in the implanted patients. 2- Absolute latency of EABR waves is 1-1.5 ms shorter than ABR waves ‘P<0.05). 3-Absolute latency of wave V decreases as a function of electric stimulus magnitude (P<0.05). 4- No significant difference was observed in IPL Ill-V between ABR and EABR.
