Abstract
Cortical auditory evoked potentials (Pl-Nl-P2-N2) are obligatory evoked potentials because they are primarily detennined by the physical properties of the stimulus. They are affected by both arousal level and attention. Therefore, they should be recordedwhen the subject is awake and alert.Their main clinical application is estimation of frequency- specific electrophysiological thresholds in adults and older children. Their thresholds agree within approximately 10 dB with behavioural audiometric thresholds. Also, CAEPs may be used to assess the higher level cognitive processing involved in the discrimination and identification of complex stimuli such as speech sounds. They can be used to assess the functional consequences of auditory deprivation. This could be done by comparing CAEPs of normal-hearing subjects with those of hearing impaired subjects.
