ABSTRACT
Purpose
Recording the evoked auditory brainstem response, in resting conditions and movement for the same individual, using new equipment/system Integrity and verifying the agreement of these responses when compared to a conventional gold device/system standard in the market.
Methods
Thirty normal-hearing adults from both genders, aged 18 to 30 years, were submitted to Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR). Two devices, a device/system Integrity, using bluetooth technology, the conditions of rest and motion and other equipment/conventional system were used to record responses in the same individual.
Results
The comparison between the absolute and interpeak latencies observed in conditions of rest and motion, equipment Integrity are similar. The examination times observed in both devices, in the resting are the same. The acquisition time ABR, provided movement is greater than the resting condition, the Integrity equipment.
Conclusion
Values were obtained for normal ABR in normal hearing adults in equipment/system Integrity, which are the same for the conditions of the individual at rest and in motion. The latencies in the two devices are equivalent in the resting condition, there was an agreement between the values of latencies, equipment Integrity, on the conditions of rest and motion.
