Auditory evoked potentials recorded in such patients would allow for the objective evaluation of the aided auditory pathway. The aim of this study was (1) to develop a stimulation setup for EEG recordings in subjects with direct acoustic cochlear implants, (2) to show the feasibility of recording auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and auditory steady state responses (ASSRs), and (3) to analyze the relation between electrophysiological thresholds derived from these responses and behavioral thresholds UR - http://dspace.nal.gov.au/xmlui/bitstream/handle/123456789/94/Transient.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y ER -
