| BAER | Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response(Potential) |
| ABER | auditory brainstem evoked response |
| BAER | brainstem auditory evoked response |
| BSER | brain stem evoked response [audiometry] |
| evoked potentials, auditory | The electric response evoked in the cerebral cortex by acoustic stimulation or stimulation of the auditory pathways. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| evoked potentials, motor | The electrical response evoked in a muscle or motor nerve by electrical or magnetic stimulation. Common methods of stimulation are by transcranial electrical and transcranial magnetic stimulation. It is often used for monitoring during neurosurgery. (12 Dec 1998) |
| evoked potentials, somatosensory | The electric response evoked in the cerebral cortex by stimulation of afferent pathways from peripheral nerves to cerebrum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| evoked potentials, visual | The electric response evoked in the cerebral cortex by visual stimulation or stimulation of the visual pathways. (12 Dec 1998) |
| audiometry | The measurement of hearing. (12 Dec 1998) |
| audiometry, pure-tone | Measurement of hearing based on the use of pure tones of various frequencies and intensities as auditory stimuli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| audiometry, speech | Measurement of the ability to hear speech under various conditions of intensity and noise interference using sound-field as well as earphones and bone oscillators. (12 Dec 1998) |
| automatic audiometry | An audiometric technique using an automatic audiometer, which enables the patient to track his own hearing thresholds by controlling the intensity of the signal being presented to him, while the audiometer sweeps through the audible frequency range. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bekesy audiometry | Automatic audiometry utilizing the Bekesy audiometer; the patient makes two threshold tracings, one in which the tone is rapidly turned on and off (interrupted tone) and one in which the tone is presented steadily (continuous tone); results may be suggestive of middle-ear, cochlear, or eighth nerve lesions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cortical audiometry | Measurement of the potentials that arise in the auditory system above the level of the brainstem. (05 Mar 2000) |
| screening audiometry | Rapid measurement of the hearing of an individual or a group against a predetermined limit of normalcy; auditory responses to different frequencies presented at a constant intensity level are tested. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pure-tone audiometry | Audiometry utilizing tones of various frequencies and intensities as auditory stimuli to measure hearing, including comparisons of results from testing air conduction and bone conduction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| speech audiometry | Measurement of overall performance in hearing, understanding, and responding to speech for a general assessment of hearing and an estimate of degree of practical handicap. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diagnostic audiometry | Measurement of hearing threshold levels to determine the nature and degree of hearing loss (e.g., conductive, sensorineural, or mixed). (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrodermal audiometry | A form of electrophysiologic audiometry used to determine hearing thresholds by measuring changes in skin resistance as a conditioned response to noise stimuli. (05 Mar 2000) |
