Notes:
Abstract This case underscores the difficulty of predicting postoperative hearing status from brain stem auditory evoked response (BAER) monitoring when wave I is preserved and all later waves are lost. During an operation involving the base of the skull, sudden and irreversible loss of all BAER waves beyond wave I occurred unilaterally. Wave I was preserved, with reduced amplitude and minimal latency shift. There was no permanent postoperative hearing sensitivity loss or speech discrimination loss.
