“…In Figure 5, the Wave V latencyversus-frequency function for the GHINOMA results more closely matches that for tone bursts at higher, adapted, 44/s rates (Gorga et al, 1988) than for the tone burst data at 22.1/s rates (Petoe et al, 2007). Hamill et al noted a similar phenomenon in their chained-clicks, where the Wave V latencies evoked by their chained-clicks were longer, and more similar to 73 clicks/sec than for 21.7 clicks/sec (Hamill, Yanez, Collier, & Lionbarger, 1992). Hoke also found that his GHINOMA-evoked latencies were longer than derived-response latency data (from Don & Eggermont, 1978), but shorter than latencies from tone bursts in notched noise (from Picton, Ouellette, Hamel, & Smith, 1979).…”

To avoid the adaptation effects caused by increasing the stimulus repetition rate in frequency-specific ABR testing, some researchers have trialed alternative stimuli called 'chained stimuli'. The current study analysed the latency variance in Wave V for auditory brainstem responses evoked by representative chained stimuli (tone-pulse series stimulation with simultaneous Gliding HIghpass NOise Masker -'GHINOMA') and conventional nonchained stimuli (tone bursts) and found that these 'chained stimuli' can be used to obtain frequency-specific ABR waveforms in less time compared to conventional stimuli, without sacrificing the 'quality' of waveforms obtained. Our findings suggest that the test-retest repeatability of chained stimuli is no different than that for conventional nonchained stimuli, and that chained stimuli can be effectively substituted for conventional stimuli with no degradation in the quality of responses. The observed improvements in morphology, and the reduction in overall testing time, make the use of chained stimuli appealing in clinical practice.

“…Although adaptation appeared to have been minimal, some questions remain because the direct comparison of responses obtained from single and multiple stimulus presentations has only been reported for clicks [Hamill et al, 1992] and tone bursts separated by 1 octave [Mitchell et al, 1996]. Previous studies using paired tone bursts and 20-tone-burst trains provided the basic information to design and test the 56-stimulus train in the present study [Mitchell et al, , 1996.…”

To further develop a multiple stimulus method for the rapid acquisition of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), a 56-stimulus train was tested in mice. Stimuli in the train were tone bursts spaced at 0.5-octave intervals from 4 to 32 kHz. ABR thresholds, latency-intensity and amplitude-intensity functions were obtained using stimuli presented singly (one at a time) and using the 56-stimulus train. Responses from stimuli presented singly and those obtained using the 56-stimulus train were compared. There were no significant differences in thresholds (0.01 level) and very small differences in response latencies and amplitudes. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of multiple stimulus trains for the rapid acquisition of ABRs.
