latencies
what click polarity do you use to improve wave 1 - Answers :alternating or rarefraction
to improve wave 1 change stimulation by - Answers :increase intensity
wave 2 generator - Answers :proximal cn8 nerve [cochlear nucleus]
proximal cn8 n problems affect BAEPs - Answers :normal at high intensity stimulation
but increased absolute latencies at lower intensity stimulation
, changes caused by high frequency hearing loss - Answers :normal at high intensity
stimulation but increased absolute latencies at lower intensity stimulation
changes caused by presbycusis [age related hearing loss] - Answers :normal at high
intensity stimulation but increased absolute latencies at lower intensity stimulation
changes caused by sensorineural hearing loss - Answers :normal at high intensity
stimulation but increased absolute latencies at lower intensity stimulation
where does the cn8 pathway decussate - Answers :after the proximal n/cochlear
nucleus in the pons

peak latencies
changes caused by vestibular schwannoma - Answers :increased wave 1-3 and 1-5
inter-peak latencies
changes caused by neurofibromatosis type 2 - Answers :increased wave 1-3 and 1-5
inter-peak latencies
changes caused by retraction of cerebellum in posterior fossa approach - Answers
:increased wave 1-3 and 1-5 inter-peak latencies
improve wave 3 by changing sim how - Answers :decreasing the rate
