A series of notched-noise embedded chirps for objective frequency specific hearing examinations

Chirp-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) have shown a better performance compared to click-evoked ABRs, due to their temporal organization which compensates for the traveling wave delay achieving a synchronous discharge of the cochlea. In this paper we present the development and evaluation, in healthy subjects, of a series of notched noise embedded frequency specific chirps to evoke ABRs. Results of the ABRs using Phase Synchronization...
