Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in a Pediatric Practice

---

1.  The Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential (CAEP) yields information on which of the following? Auditory processing of the stimuli presented Detection of the stimuli presented Processing and detection Language skills of the patient

2.  Why does the CAEP yield more information in patients with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) than the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR)? The stimuli are slower and the response requires less neural synchrony The response requires less neural synchrony It’s not better. They are equally useful in this population None of the above

3.  Using one speech stimulus to obtain a CAEP, which of the following can be derived? A function audiogram An auditory brainstem response An estimated speech awareness threshold (eSRT) Middle ear muscle reflexes

4.  P1 is a morphological marker for which of the following? Dichotic listening Efferent function Maturation of the cortical auditory pathway Auditory Processing Disorder

5.  Which of the following can reduce noise in your CAEP recordings? Use an in-line power condition Seat child comfortably with head supported and legs uncrossed Physically ground the amplifier All of the above
