This article introduces the cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) and describes the use of the N1-P2 response complex as an objective predictor of hearing threshold in adults and older children. The generators of the CAEP are discussed together with issues of maturation, subject factors, and stimuli and recording parameters for use in the clinic. The basic methods for response identification are outlined and suggestions are made for determining the CAEP threshold. Clinical applications are introduced and the accuracy of the CAEP as an estimator of hearing threshold is given. Finally, a case study provides an example of the technique in the context of medicolegal assessment.
本文介绍了皮质听觉诱发电位(CAEP),并描述了将N1-P2反应复合体用作成人和大龄儿童听力阈值客观预测指标的应用。文中讨论了CAEP的发生器,以及成熟度、受试者因素、临床使用的刺激和记录参数等问题。概述了反应识别的基本方法,并就确定CAEP阈值提出了建议。介绍了临床应用情况,并给出了CAEP作为听力阈值评估指标的准确性。最后,通过一个案例研究展示了该技术在法医学评估中的应用实例。
