Sup. Vest Nerve Standard ABR Facial Nerve Cross-section of Internal Auditory Canal HIGH- FREQUENCY FIBERS Acoustic Nerve Inf. Vest Nerve TUMOR The wave V latency used in the standard ABR IT5 and I-V delay measures is dominated by neural activity from the high-frequency regions of the cochlea. Thus, unless the tumor affects these high-frequency fibers sufficiently, standard ABR latencies will be normal.
