Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response Test
Alternate Names : BAER Test, Auditory Brain Stem Response, ABR, Evoked Response Audiometry
What do the test results mean?
The results of the test are compared to the results from people with normal hearing and brain function. Fewer peaks than normal on a person's graph suggest disorders or damage to the hearing nerves. Longer than normal delays between clicks and brain wave response suggest hearing loss due to a problem in the ear itself.
