Auditory Brainstem Evoked Potentials Right Ear Wave V Response Threshold >97 Consider the case of severe deafness. Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) is a test that reflects the electrical activity of nerve impulses induced by acoustic stimulation on the auditory conduction pathway in the brainstem. Seven waveforms can be recorded from the top of the skull at 70dB acoustic stimulation, which are categorized as waves I to V. In adults, the BAEP is a measure of the electrical activity of the brainstem in the auditory conduction pathway. Adult auditory evoked potential wave V response threshold is generally normal should be less than 30db. Infants and young children response threshold is higher than adults, but its behavioral reflex threshold is relatively low, which is of great value to the early detection of deafness. However, in order to accurately differentiate and determine the degree of deafness, it should be examined with the aid of electroacoustic instruments. Patients with severe hearing loss need to identify the cause of the hearing loss and have it treated accordingly.
