Auditory evoked potentials

Geriatrician

They are obtained using sounds sent through headphones. The exam lasts about half an hour. They make it possible to study the functioning of the auditory pathways and to follow the flow of auditory information via the inner ear, the auditory nerve, the brainstem to the auditory temporal cortex. They are indicated in cases of deafness, balance disturbances, brainstem damage or assessment of arousal from coma.
