Extract

This paper will present an overview of the clinical experience that has been accumu-lated by the Division of Otolaryngology Center for Communication Sciences, Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York, using auditory brainstem response (ABR) in the tinnitus patient. This work has been ongoing since 1977. Our observations of ABR in the tinnitus patient have been reported to stimulation with tone and broad band clicks. They are observations, not conclusions. We reported in 1981, a clinical test—“Simultaneous Binaural Auditory Brain Response” with monaural stimula-tion for attempts to locate central tinnitus (SABR).
