Abstract
The recently discovered slow negative brain stem response at 10 ms (SN10) was investigated as a tool for assessment of hearing in 20 human newborns and 20 adults. Tone pips of 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz and a click were presented at 60, 40 and 20 dB re normal hearing level. The SN10 response varied systematically as a function of frequency and intensity. SN10 was not observed for all stimuli, but percentages of detection improved as frequency and intensity increased. Newborns demonstrated significantly longer latencies than adults for all stimuli. SN10 apparently is a reliable indicator of peripheral hearing for frequencies of 1000 Hz and higher.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
