Ipsilateral ABR with cochlear implant

Acta Otolaryngol. 1996 Mar;116(2):228-33. doi: 10.3109/00016489609137830.

Abstract

Ipsilateral ABR recording technique was developed with the MXM DIGISONIC DX10 cochlear implant, involving, firstly, setting of recording variables with regard to implant and ABR constraints, and, secondly, enhancement of recording quality by signal processing. The resulting recording quality then enabled us to characterize ABR latency, amplitude and wave reproductibility according to stimulus intensity and stimulation site (electrode stimulated). The findings agree with those of the literature on contralateral human and ipsilateral animal studies. Waves III and V amplitude increased with stimulus intensity. Waves III and V latency was insensitive to stimulus intensity or site. ABR quality diminished basally.
