Brainstem evoked potentials to tonepips in notched noise. 1979

T W Picton, and J Ouellette, and G Hamel, and A D Smith

Notched noise can be used to mask the frequency spread of acoustic energy in the brief tonepips that are used to elicit brainstem evoked potentials. Brainstem responses to tonepips and notched noise can therefore be used to evaluate auditory thresholds at particular frequencies. These thresholds are more frequency-specific than those obtained using tonepips alone, and are accurate to within 20 dB of the conventional audiometric thresholds.
