The early potentials reflect electrical activity at the cochlea, eighth cranial nerve, and brain stem; the later potentials reflect cortical activity.

Examen de l'audition [...] En général, le nouveau-né répond à une stimulation de 60 décibels. S'il ne répond pas, on augmente l'intensité et tout enfant ne répondant pas à 90 dB doit être considéré comme suspect. Si la suspicion se confirme à un nouvel examen, il sera adressé à un spécialiste. Des méthodes électrophysiologiques objectives telles que les potentiels évoqués auditifs du tronc cérébral peuvent être alors réalisées.

OBS

Potentiels évoqués auditifs du tronc cérébral : habituellement au pluriel.
