This article reviews the appropriate stimulus parameters (click duration, toneburst envelope) that should be used when eliciting auditory brainstem responses from mice. Equipment specifications required to calibrate these acoustic transients are discussed. Several methods of calibrating the level of acoustic transients are presented, including the measurement of peak equivalent sound pressure level (peSPL) and peak sound pressure level (pSPL). It is hoped that those who collect auditory brainstem response thresholds in mice will begin to use standardized methods of acoustic calibration, so that hearing thresholds across mouse strains obtained in different laboratories can more readily be compared.
本文回顾了从小鼠引出听觉脑干反应时应使用的适当刺激参数（点击持续时间、短纯音包络）。讨论了校准这些声瞬变所需的设备规格。介绍了几种校准声瞬变水平的方法，包括峰值等效声压级（peSPL）和峰值声压级（pSPL）的测量。希望那些收集小鼠听觉脑干反应阈值的人开始使用标准化的声学校准方法，以便能更容易地比较不同实验室获得的不同小鼠品系的听力阈值。
