| Abstract |
The aim of our study is to analyze changes occurring in the auditory brainstem response (ABR) according to stimulus parameters in unilateral cochlear hearing loss cases. Twenty-nine cases (14 male, 15 female) with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) were investigated. All cases had cochlear SNHL on one side whereas normal hearing on the other side. All cases underwent ABR testing with varying stimulus intensity levels and stimulus repetition rates (SRRs). Results were compared and their correlation with audiogram shapes investigated. As stimulus intensity levels decreased on both ears, latencies expanded and amplitudes decreased in all traces of ABR. Latencies of ears with cochlear hearing loss were observed to be longer than those in normal ears. Responses to SRR increases were similar on both ears. Audiogram shapes should be taken into consideration while performing ABR in order to address asymmetric SNHL. The interpretation of ABR changes with various stimulus levels may provide a better understanding of cochlear pathologies associated with hearing loss in the future. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 July 2013.
All research outputs
#16,272,032
of 23,975,976 outputs
Outputs from Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
#271
of 744 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#169,452
of 246,871 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery
#13
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,975,976 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 744 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.1. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 246,871 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
