Auditory event related potentials in chronic tinnitus patients with noise induced hearing loss

J Attias, D Urbach, S Gold, Z Shemesh - Hearing Research, 1993 - Elsevier
In order to explore a possible deficit in auditory central neural activity in tinnitus with noise
induced hearing loss (NIHL), auditory event related potentials (ERP) and reaction time (RT)
were recorded (measures of central processing) from tinnitus patients (N= 12) and hearing
and age matched controls (N= 12). Testing procedure included oddball paradigms and 1
KHz repetitive stimulus, as well as click-induced brainstem auditory evoked potentials
(BAEP). ERP amplitudes (waves Nl, P2 and P3) in tinnitus patients were significantly lower …
