Auditory evoked potentials

Abstract

Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) have become an integral part of the current otologic/audiologic test battery. With these techniques, synchronous neural activity can be examined from the peripheral end organ of hearing up to the cortical structures responsible for audition. The clinical applications of AEPs range from their use as an indicator of auditory sensitivity in patients who either cannot or will not respond in a conventional behavioral test situation to their use in the diagnosis and monitoring of various otologic and neurologic disorders. As such, measurement of AEPs allows the clinician a unique glimpse of the auditory system.
