An objective quantitative approach to the decision of when to stop averaging sweeps in auditory brain-stem response (ABR) testing is presented. This decision is based on (1) the knowledge of the amplitude distributions of wave V in the ABRs of normal hearing individuals for varying stimulus levels, (2) calculated estimates of the residual background noise in the average, and (3) use of a quantitative statistical detector of an evoked potential. Several reasons for terminating an average are presented along with a specific protocol for each of the reasons. These protocols provide a general but consistent framework to address the issue of when to stop averaging and should improve the efficiency of ABR testing. Furthermore, it is quite possible to automate the procedure and the decision process.
