What do the test results mean?

The results of the test are compared to the results from people with normal hearing and brain function. Fewer peaks than normal on a person's graph suggest disorders or damage to the hearing nerves. Longer than normal delays between clicks and brain wave response suggest hearing loss due to a problem in the ear itself.
