Low-frequency hearing loss: auditory brainstem response-derived band analysis

Abstract

Conventional (0.125-8 kHz) and high-frequency (8-20 kHz) audiometry, together with brainstem response audiometry supplemented with derived-band studies have been performed in 6 patients with sensorineural hearing loss: 1 with narrow-band, 3-4 kHz, and 5 with low-frequency threshold elevations. The derived-band results in the latter indicate that the low-frequency audiometric thresholds are spurious, and represent the low-frequency tails of viable high-frequency neurons. Threshold preservation in the 4- to 8-kHz frequency band proved necessary for generation of a normal auditory brainstem response at suprathreshold stimulus levels.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.
