Only recently has the FFR been evaluated for encoding complex sound and binaural processing. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] There may be uses for the information the FFR can provide regarding steady state, time-variant, and speech signals for better understanding of individuals with hearing loss and its effects and of people with psychopathology.
It is typically experienced as a secondary symptom of sensorineural hearing loss, although not all patients with sensorineural hearing loss experience diplacusis or tinnitus. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The onset is usually spontaneous and can occur following an acoustic trauma , for example an explosive noise, or in the presence of an ear infection . [ 3 ]
Graph showing a typical Auditory Brainstem Response. The auditory brainstem response (ABR), also called brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) or brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) or brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) [1] [2] is an auditory evoked potential extracted from ongoing electrical activity in the brain and recorded via electrodes placed on the scalp.
Hearing loss completely recovers in around 35–39% of patients with SSNHL, usually within one to two weeks from onset. [34] Steroid treatment within seven days, a lower initial severity of hearing loss, the absence of vertigo, younger patient age, and a history of cardiovascular disease are all associated with complete hearing recovery.

Dichotic pitch (or the dichotic pitch phenomenon) is a pitch heard due to binaural processing, when the brain combines two noises presented simultaneously to the ears. [1] In other words, it cannot be heard when the sound stimulus is presented monaurally (to one ear) but, when it is presented binaurally (simultaneously, to both ears) a ...
Progressive hearing loss in both ears Typically will begin in one ear and gradually affect the other; Hearing loss may begin suddenly; Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in ears) Decrease in word recognition capability; Loss of balance (vestibular symptoms) Degree of balance loss can change throughout the course of the disease
Several psychophysical studies have shown that older people with normal hearing and people with sensorineural hearing loss often show impaired performance for auditory tasks that are assumed to rely on the ability of the monaural and binaural auditory system to encode and use TFS n cues, such as: discrimination of sound frequency, [76] [177 ...
With only one tone (as opposed to two tones with binaural beats), your brain has a much easier time adjusting and there is no need to balance separate tones. Monaural beats are combined into one sound before they actually reach the human ear, as opposed to formulated in part by the brain itself, which occurs with a binaural beat. This means ...
