CANINE HEARING TESTS

                                                                   

The BAERCOM is a portable, stand-alone, 9V-battery-powered BAER hearing evaluation device for veterinary research and testing on dogs, and puppies

The BAERCOM synchronizes click generation and EEG data collection to sample 11 milliseconds of EEG data, starting with the click onset. The resulting summed BAER response waveform is rapidly compiled and displayed on the graphics LCD.

The BAERCOM can be operated as a "stand alone" BAER evaluation tool, with the resulting BAER response clearly displayed on the graphics LCD. Up to 31 BAER response traces (up to 23 with earlier firmware) can be saved in memory inside the BAERCOM. Any of these recorded BAER traces can be displayed on the built-in LCD. They can also be downloaded to a PC when convenient.

The BAER response for both ears is combined into a simple, easy to use report form (shown above). The report can be annotated as desired, then saved and printed as required. 

The BAER traces shown above were collected with the BAERCOM from a lightly sedated, one-year-old male Dalmatian with unilateral hearing loss in the left ear. The collection of this BAER data for both ears took less than 5 minutes. Most pups, do not require sedation at all.
