ABR Hearing Testing
Industry-leading ABR equipment for assessment of the functional status of the auditory neural pathway and young children’s hearing thresholds.
What is an ABR Hearing Test?
An ABR test (Auditory Brainstem Response Test) measures the neural activity of a large portion of the auditory nerve pathway. ABR recording can be applied for diagnostic or screening hearing tests to identify hearing problems that can be related to inner ear or subcortical auditory structures.
For Newborn Hearing Screening, an ABR Test is usually performed as a follow-up test of an OAE hearing test (Otoacoustic Emissions test). While an OAE hearing test can only confirm hearing function up to the cochlea, the ABR screening is a more advanced hearing test to evaluate the processing of an acoustic stimulus by the auditory brainstem. ABR tests can be performed with persons of all ages. They are very often used in Newborn Hearing Screening, as they do not require an active response from the patient and can objectively locate postcochlear lesions affecting the hearing.
