Welcome to the Cortical ERA Home Page

This is a non-profit educational & technical resource site for Audiologists to promote the development, availability and clinical use of Cortical electric response audiometry, a technique for objective hearing threshold estimation based on the "N1-P2" response.
The impetus for creating this site is to:

bullet

inform the international audiological community of the benefits and limitations of Cortical ERA;

bullet

compensate for some misinformation on, or ignorance of, this subject in the literature;

bullet

showcase a system designed by the author of the site to demonstrate how Cortical ERA can be implemented to produce a user-friendly, fast and efficient test (note that the site's author has no interest in sales of equipment);

bullet

generate sufficient user demand to persuade equipment manufacturers to make an efficient version of this test available on their evoked potential systems.

The site's author is Guy Lightfoot, a Consultant Audiological Scientist in Liverpool, UK with a long-standing special interest in the subject.  Your feedback on this site is welcomed.
