Excerpt
Excerpt: There are several objective methods available for assessing hearing loss. Some of these methods are suitable for use in studies of the hearing loss induced in experimental animals by noise trauma as well as in man. This presentation will discuss only the recently developed methods that make use of the evoked potentials that can be recorded from various locations in the nervous system. The first response that can be recorded from the auditory nervous system in response to a transient sound is the compound action potential of the auditory nerve. That potential can be recorded either from the round window of the cochlea or from the auditory nerve where it leaves the ear and enters the brain through the internal auditory meatus.
