Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Auditory brain response by bone-conducted ultrasound (BCU) was measured using guinea pigs. Is has been difficult to measure by the artifact. After the acoustic trauma caused by the over stimulation, hearing loss appeared. This result supports our hypothesis that BCU is perceived by the cochlea.
