Patient discussion about ABR test.

Q. what is an ABR test? and how much does it cost?

A. ABR, or Auditory brainstem response, is a test of the hearing, from the ears to the brainstem that can be conducted without the cooperation of the patient. As such, it's useful in babies and others who can't cooperate.

It basically consists of playing sounds to the patient and recording the electrical waves of the brain. It's generally safe and painless.

The ABR test was re corded with the Intelligent Biologic Master System (Intelligent Hearing Systems; Miami) using traditional montage and recording techniques.
However, without the Clarity System, hospitals must purchase two systems to meet the NIH's recommendations of using both OAE and ABR tests in a two-stage testing protocol for complete screening.
