ABR

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is a test that measures how the auditory nerve and brainstem respond to sounds. During the test, small electrodes are placed on the head to detect electrical signals generated when a sound, like a click or tone, is played. These signals are recorded and analyzed to assess the functioning of the hearing pathways from the ear to the brain. ABR helps diagnose hearing loss, neurological conditions, and checks the integrity of the auditory system, providing valuable information without requiring active cooperation from the patient.
