Abstract
Parameters of the brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) to high-intensity clicks of initial rarefaction (R) and condensation (C) phases differed. The amplitudes of Waves I, II and IV were greater with R clicks, while that of Wave V was greater with C clicks. The peak-latencies of Waves I and VI were shorter with R clicks and those of the remaining components tend to shorten with C clicks. At low stimulus intensities the preserved BAEP components (Waves III, V and VI) did not change noticeably with click phase inversion.
