BAEP TEST REVIEW (TEST # 3) QUESTIONS &
ANSWERS
Each wave (except for wave I) is generated when auditory impulses pass through a
specific portion of the auditory pathway within the brain stem
(True/False) - Answers :True
Wave I corresponds to which parts of the brain? - Answers :lower brain stem (upper
medulla to pons)
Wave II corresponds to which parts of the brain? - Answers :lower brain stem (upper
medulla to pons)
Wave III corresponds to which parts of the brain? - Answers :lower brain stem/upper
brain stem
Wave IV corresponds to which parts of the brain? - Answers :upper brain stem (mid
pons to lower midbrain)
Wave V corresponds to which parts of the brain? - Answers :upper brain stem (midpons
to lower midbrain)
Wave I is generated by the ________ end of the cochlear nerve - Answers :distal
Wave II is generated by the ________ ________ - Answers :cochlear nucleus
Wave III is generated by the _______ ________ ________ - Answers :Superior Oliveri
nucleus
Wave IV is generated by the - Answers :lateral lemniscus
Wave V is generated by the - Answers :inferior colliculus
(waveform analysis of ipsilateral ear) in normal patients, all 5 waves are usually present
and highly reproducible
(True/False) - Answers :True
(waveform analysis of ipsilateral ear). Wave I is the first consistent wave to be recorded.
Wave II is sometimes absent, but it is not used clinically. Wave III in most normal
subjects is equidistant between I and V may have a double Peak.
(True/False) - Answers :True
