To evaluate the hypothesis of CNS involvement in Bell's palsy, the auditory brain stem responses (ABR) of 31 patients were studied. In nine of these patients ABR abnormalities were found. None of these patients showed evidence of dysfunction of the cochlear nerve. Six of the patients who had abnormal ABR were retested after they recovered from the facial paresis. Five of these patients showed persistent ABR abnormality, and one showed a normalization of the ABR. These results may be consistent with an injury at the brain stem level in some patients with Bell's palsy. The possible causative agent of a reactivation of a herpes simplex virus infection is discussed.

Tinnitus affects about 10% of population worldwide. Most patients present with some degrees of hearing impairment, while others remain normal. The aim of this study was to analyze the latency and amplitude of auditory brain stem response (ABR) waveforms in patients with unilateral tinnitus. The tinnitus ears and non-tinnitus ears were compared for each patient. Sixty-seven patients with single-sided tinnitus were enrolled, including 26 male and 41 female patients with a mean age of 54.4 (age ranged from 22 to 79). Eighteen patients had bilateral normal hearing, while 49 patients had some degree of sensorineural hearing. The ABR waveforms were retrospectively analyzed in terms of waves I, III, and V absolute latency, as well as waves I-III, waves II-V, and waves I-V latency intervals, amplitude, and amplitude ratio (III/I, V/I). Statistical analyses were performed within patients. There was no significant ABR difference between the tinnitus and non-tinnitus ears with regard to all the wave latencies and amplitudes in our patients (all P values >0.1). Our result that ABR changes were not found between tinnitus and non-tinnitus ears implies that tinnitus does not simply originate from the defect of the peripheral auditory system. It conforms to the contemporary theory that a higher level of the brain is involved in the generation of tinnitus.

Brain Stem Reflex

This chapter introduces a psychological mechanism that involves a close link between perception and motor behaviour. It focuses on a mechanism called the brain stem reflex, which refers to a process whereby an emotion is aroused in a listener because an acoustic feature — such as sound intensity or roughness of timbre — exceeds a certain cut-off value for which the auditory system has been designed by natural selection to quickly alert the brain. It is a kind of ‘override’ system, which is activated when an event seems to require first-priority attention. Brain stem reflexes are said to be ‘hard-wired’: they are quick, automatic, and unlearned.

Brain Stem Response

The authors examined the hypothesis that abnormal patterns of the auditory brain stem response (ABR) could supplement the neuro-otological evaluation and assist in localizing the site of vestibulocerebellar dysfunction. This project is based upon the fact that the sources of waves I through V have been regionally identified. Absent or delayed patterns can be referenced to the normal data, and the site of a lesion generating vertigo can be established. We found absence of waves or prolonged interpeak latencies in 25% of the vertiginous subjects with normal hearing and magnetic resonance images of the brain. We conclude that in selected cases, lesions affecting the vestibular system can influence the ABR, and the electrophysiological tests of audition may suggest regionalization of the dysfunction in the hindbrain and midbrain.
