This unit covers various objective tests of auditory and general neural function that utilise objective electrophysiological and acoustic physiological responses. Techniques covered include auditory, visual and somatosensory evoked response averaging, including ECoG, ABR, MLR, SSEP and cortical responses cochlear mechanics and their measurement through otoacoustic emissions and masking functions, assessment of the vestibular system with electro-nystagmography and caloric testing. Technical issues concerning the test equipment are also covered.
