CAEPs in (un)aided normal-hearing and hearing-impaired adults
Abstract
Introduction Cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) are influenced by the characteristics of the stimulus, including level and hearing aid gain. Previous studies have measured CAEPs aided and unaided in individuals with normal hearing. There is a significant difference between providing amplification to a normal-hearing or a hearing-impaired person. This study investigates this difference, and the effects of stimulus signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and audibility on the CAEP amplitude in a population with hearing loss.
