    Abstract:
    Conductive hearing loss may be determined from the latency delay of the brainstem auditory evoked response Jewett V, if other reasons that may prolong latency are ruled out. Therefore it is important to determine the bone conduction threshold when examining infants. Two bone vibrators have been chosen, which, with the help of "inverse filtering", provide the possibility of a good sound conduction of the click stimulus and thus a measurement near the hearing threshold. When applying bone vibrators to infants it must be borne in mind, that the sound transfer is reduced because the cranial sutures are not yet closed. The measurement of bone conduction is suitable for securing the result of high-grade combined hearing defects. In two cases of atresia of the external auditory canal and microtia brainstem evoked response audiometry is presented with evaluation of both air and bone conduction.
