Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of monaural and binaural broadband masking noise on binaural interaction components (BICs) of the human auditory brain stem evoked potentials (ABEPs). The BICs of the human ABEPs were studied by subtracting the potentials to binaural clicks from the algebraic sum of monaurally evoked potentials to clicks alone or to clicks with ipsilateral monaural or binaural broadband masking noise. Alternating polarity, 11/sec clicks were presented at 65 dB nHL, and noise was presented at 45 dB nHL. Analysis included peak-to-prestimulus baseline amplitudes and latencies of BICs' peaks and troughs from the vertex-mastoid (A) and vertex-neck (Z) channels. In addition, 3-channel Lissajous' trajectory (3-CLT) analysis, estimating the single, centrally located dipole equivalent of surface activity, was performed on data recorded from three orthogonally positioned electrode pairs. 3-CLT measures included apex latency, amplitude, and orientation, as well as planar segment duration, size, shape, and orientation. All BICs 3-CLTs included five main components (labeled BdI, BdII, BdIII, BeI, and BeII). In general, apex latencies were longer with masking noise. However, BdII and BeI apex latencies wer...Continue Reading
