Table 2. Stimulus and Recording Parameters for the Simultaneous Click Electrocochleography (ECochG) and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) Recording.
| Stimulus and recording parameters | Setting |
|---|---|
| Two-channel recording using custom-made TM-electrode |
Channel
A
for ECochG and channel
B
for ABR
• Inverting (−): TM-electrode linked to both channels (A and B) • Noninverting (+): contralateral mastoid (channel A + ) and high forehead (channel B + ) • Common ground: mid-forehead and the ground end of the TM-electrode lead |
