- Abstract
Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Audiometry is widely used in diagnosing deafness in children, assessment of hearing threshold in adults, determining the type of hearing loss and detection of auditory nerve or brainstem lesions. The goal of this article is to highlight the main features of Auditory Brainstem Response Audiometry which uses the click as a stimulus, but also other stimuli with frequency specificity, like short duration tones (burst) or continuous tones (Auditory Steady State Response, ASSR). Also, we emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques used in assessing of hearing in adults who request forensic medicine services or in deaf patients who undertake auditory handicap expertise.
