Use of an Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Simulator to Train Audiology Students on Labelling Peaks In The Auditory Brainstem Response

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a complex response that represents neural activity generated at several anatomical sites in response to particular types of external stimuli and consists of up to seven waves; each numbered using the Roman numeric system to give Waves I–VII. The ABR is also w...
