The electrically-evoked auditory brainstem response(EABR) was successfully obtained, using an equipment made by the authors. Charge-coupled biphasic electrical stimuli were applied by extracochlear stimulation(on the promontory) or intracochlear stimulation(into the scala tympani). Several characteristics of EABR were observed as follows ; 1) EABR was obtained more easily by intracochlear stimulation than extracochlear stimulation. 2) Waves of EABR appeared 1.5 to 2.0 msec earlier than those of the acoustically-evoked brainstem response. 3) Wave I was not observed due to electrical stimulation, whereas wave III and IV were consistently obtained, giving input-output function curves. 4) It is stressed that artifacts of electrical stimulation and myogenic response should be eliminated to get the EABR.
