Fast assessment of canine hearing using high click-rate BAER

The aim of this study was to determine if high stimulus repetition rates could reduce the time taken to obtain brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) waveforms of equivalent quality in dogs. Click-evoked BAER waveforms were obtained from nine healthy, adult, mixed-breed dogs at stimulus intensiti...
