“…It is not dependent on the level of attention or arousal, having the same values regardless if subjects are sedated or not (Wilson and Mills, 2005). It can evaluate each ear independently, establish a minimal auditory response level, and characterize the type of hearing loss (Wilson and Mills, 2005;Kemper et al, 2013). Representing a valid method to assess the integrity of the auditory pathway in pathological processes of the central nervous system that affect the brainstem region, and it can establish the site of auditory nerve or brainstem injury (Wilson and Mills, 2005).…”

“…Difference occurs when breed and head size is taken into account (Wilson et al, 2006;Kemper et al, 2013;Poma et al, 2008;Munro et al, 1997;Meij et al, 1992;Strain, 2011). However, some authors claimed that the breed might play a more significant role in the obtained BAER measurements than the head size (Poma et al, 2008;Munro et al, 1997), and others state that both characteristics are very important in acquiring BAER values (Meij et al, 1992;Pook and Steiss, 1990).…”

“…There is disagreement among authors regarding the effect of head size on the brainstem auditory evoked response. Meij et al (1992) found that body weight and cranial distance led to an increase in wave latency in dogs, while Kemper et al (2013) found that canine head size did not affect clinical BAER results in terms of the waveform morphology, wave latency or hearing sensitivity. In humans, head size (in addition to gender) has been found to affect the latency of waves I, III, V and the I-III and the I-V inter-peak interval (Aoyagi et al 1990;Dempsey et al 1986;Trune et al 1988) as well as amplitude changes of waves I, III and V (Aoyagi et al 1990).…”

Aims Auditory plasticity in response to unilateral deafness has been reported in various animal species. Subcortical changes occurring in unilaterally deaf young dogs using the brainstem auditory evoked response have not been evaluated yet. The aim of this study was to assess the brainstem auditory evoked response findings in dogs with unilateral hearing loss, and compare them with recordings obtained from healthy dogs. Methods Brainstem auditory evoked responses (amplitudes and latencies of waves I, II, III, V, the V/I wave amplitude ratio, wave I-V, I-III and III-V interpeak intervals) were studied retrospectively in forty-six privately owned dogs, which were either unilaterally deaf or had bilateral hearing. The data obtained from the hearing ears in unilaterally deaf dogs were compared to values obtained from their healthy littermates. Results Statistically significant differences in the amplitude of wave III and the V/I wave amplitude ratio at 75 dB nHL were found between the group of unilaterally deaf puppies and the control group. The recordings of dogs with single-sided deafness were compared, and the results showed no statistically significant differences in the latencies and amplitudes of the waves between left-(AL) and right-sided (AR) deafness. Conclusions The recordings of the brainstem auditory evoked response in canines with unilateral inborn deafness in this study varied compared to recordings from healthy dogs. Future studies looking into electrophysiological assessment of hearing in conjunction with imaging modalities to determine subcortical auditory plasticity and auditory lateralization in unilaterally deaf dogs are warranted.
