A schematic description of the correlation between the various types of hearing disorders and the behaviour of auditory brain stem responses (ABR) is presented. Conductive pathology and high-frequency cochlear hearing loss prolong wave component latency due to energy loss and hair cell dysfunction. Latency is not affected in flat cochlear hearing loss. Prolonged interwave latencies between wave I and wave V indicate eighth nerve and brain stem disorders. An algorithm in the form of a flow chart was developed for location of the malfunction. Families of characteristics of wave V intensity-latency functions were designed for faster detection and more precise evaluation of conductive and cochlear hearing losses.

D006314 Hearing Loss, Conductive Hearing loss due to interference with the mechanical reception or amplification of sound to the COCHLEA. The interference is in the outer or middle ear involving the EAR CANAL; TYMPANIC MEMBRANE; or EAR OSSICLES. Conductive Hearing Loss
D006319 Hearing Loss, Sensorineural Hearing loss resulting from damage to the COCHLEA and the sensorineural elements which lie internally beyond the oval and round windows. These elements include the AUDITORY NERVE and its connections in the BRAINSTEM.

D001300 Audiometry, Evoked Response A form of electrophysiologic audiometry in which an analog computer is included in the circuit to average out ongoing or spontaneous brain wave activity. A characteristic pattern of response to a sound stimulus may then become evident. Evoked response audiometry is known also as electric response audiometry.
