Electrically evoked brainstem responses are larger and faster than acoustic ones

Evidence

The amplitude of wave eV was larger than an acoustically evoked ABR amplitude, and latency which occurs approximately 3.6 ms after the onset of the stimulus is shorter because the electrical stimulus directly activates the neural pathway (Starr and Brackmann 1979 ; Pelizzone et al. 1989 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1462

In general, wave eI was not observed due to the stimulation pulse artifact from the implant. The amplitude of wave eV was larger than an acoustically evoked ABR amplitude, and latency which occurs approximately 3.6 ms after the onset of the stimulus is shorter because the electrical stimulus directly activates the neural pathway (Starr and Brackmann 1979 ; Pelizzone et al. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1462
