Abstract

Routine screening of hearing using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) in infants, such as neonates in the special care baby unit, requires a system which is quick, user-friendly and gives a simple outcome. A system which consists of a stimulator/amplifier unit for recording the ABR controlled by a standard Master Series BBC Microcomputer is described which fulfils these requirements. The test procedure is highly automated, and a pass or refer decision for the screen on each ear is given by a machine-scoring algorithm which detects the ABR waveform.
