Electrocochleography: a new technique

The near field monitoring of an auditory evoked response from the cochlear (electrocochleography) is a tried and trusted clinical tool. Conventional techniques for performing electrocochleography are cumbersome to use and frequently uncomfortable for the patient. We present a simple, modified technique which provides more flexibility with regard to where and when electrocochleography may be performed and also improves patient comfort during the test.
