. This laboratory exercise manual concentrates on auditory brain stem evoked potential (ABEP) techniques, with limited additional material on auditory middle latency potentials (MLPs), auditory long latency potentials (LLPs), and electrocochleography (ECoG). It is assumed that persons using this book are beginners to ABEP but familiar with some types of clinical laboratory instruments and procedures, and possess a reasonably sophisticated knowledge of auditory neuroanatomy and neurophysiology and of working with clients/patients. This book focuses on the Auditory Brain Stem Evoked Potentials (ABEP), which help develop the practical, "hands-on" auditory electrophysiological skills and techniques necessary to supplement the technical information obtained from a traditional classroom format. The intent is to teach the process involved in obtaining auditory electrophysiological data, knowledge of which would transfer to administration of a variety of other tests. The book stresses understanding normal variations so the readers can progress to understanding pathological variations. For practicing speech pathologists and audiologists.
