La seconde méthode, l'audiométrie des potentiels auditifs du tronc cérébral, est dans son principe et sa mise en œuvre très proche de l'électrocochléographie. Les différences tiennent aux électrodes (cutanées), et aux informations, recueillies, sur une section plus étendue de l'appareil auditif: du nerf cochléaire aux tubercules quadrijumeaux inférieurs. L'amplitude extrêmement faible des réponses (de l'ordre de 0,3 uv) contraint néanmoins à de nombreuses précautions lors de l'examen pour obtenir des résultats fiables. Les informations ne portent que sur les aigus. 1, record 2, French, - audiom%C3%A9trie%20des%20potentiels%20auditifs%20du%20tronc%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral

Les implants du tronc cérébral permettent de transformer les signaux analogiques enregistrés par un microphone en signaux électriques pour stimuler directement le noyau cochléaire. L’implant du tronc cérébral a bénéficié des technologies développées pour l’implant cochléaire, la stimulation se faisant dans ce cas sur le noyau cochléaire, et non sur les cellules ciliées. 2, record 3, French, - implant%20du%20tronc%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral

Les implants du tronc cérébral ne réhabilitent toutefois pas l'audition, mais ils permettent de donner à la personne qui en bénéficie quelques sensations qui facilitent notamment la lecture sur les lèvres (lecture labiale). 3, record 3, French, - implant%20du%20tronc%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral

Brain stem auditory evoked responses (BAER) can be recorded from scalp electrodes at 0 to 10 msec (early), 10 to 50 msec (middle), and 50 to 500 msec (late) following a click stimulus. The early potentials reflect electrical activity at the cochlea, eighth cranial nerve, and brain stem; the later potentials reflect cortical activity. 1, record 7, English, - brainstem%20auditory%20evoked%20responses

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. 1, record 7, French, - potentiels%20%C3%A9voqu%C3%A9s%20auditifs%20du%20tronc%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral
