Krishnan Ananthanarayan. Auditory Brainstem Evoked Potentials: Clinical and Research Applications

Plural Publishing, 2023. — 391 p. — ISBN: 9781635502398.Auditory Brainstem Evoked Potentials: Clinical and Research Applications provide a solid foundation of the theoretical principles of auditory evoked potentials. This understanding is important for both the development of optimal clinical test strategies and the interpretation of test results. Developed for graduate-level audiology students, this comprehensive text aims to build a fundamental understanding of auditory evoked brainstem responses (ABR), and their relationship to normal and impaired auditory function, as well as its various audiologic and neurootologic applications. In addition to covering the classical onset ABR, the book provides a thorough review of sustained brainstem responses elicited by complex sounds, including auditory steady-state response (ASSR), envelope-following response (EFR), and frequency-following response (FFR), and the growing clinical and research applications of these responses. By exploring why certain stimulus manipulations are required to answer specific clinical questions, the author provides the resources needed for students and clinicians to make reasoned decisions about the optimal protocol to use in a given situation.Overview of the Neuroanatomy of Auditory Periphery and Brainstem.
