Bone conduction auditory brainstem response

Bone conduction auditory brainstem response testing is a test performed to determine hearing loss when air conduction based hearing tests such as auditory brainstem response show hearing loss.

How it is performed?

Diagnostic Auditory Brainstem Response (also called the ABR test) During the Auditory Brainstem Response test, sounds are played into the baby’s ear at various loudness levels (measured in decibels, or dB) and pitches (also called frequencies). During the test, these sounds will be played through earphones placed directly into the baby’s ears. A bone oscillator (which vibrates, or moves, against the bone behind the ear or the forehead) will also be used during the ABR to determine what type of hearing loss a baby has.
