Comparison of the cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP) recorded with speech and with frequency spectrum comparable noise stimuli in normal hearing children.

CAEP can be evoked with a variety of stimuli with and without hearing aids. They offer a possibility to objectively obtain aided responses to complex stimuli. P1 can be used as a measurement tool for the evaluation of the benefit from amplification, as well as for the evaluation of auditory pathway maturation in children. The aim of this study was to investigate CAEP wave identifiability and latencies after different syllable and noise stimuli in different age groups.
