Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) are far field potentials recorded from the earlobs or over the mastoids, referred to the vertex, to auditory stimulations. BAEPs are generated by the successive components of the auditory pathway, mainly the auditory circuits in the brainstem.

BAEPs are used for assessment of brainstem function in neonates particularly premature infants; evaluation of hearing loss in adults; screening test for acoustic neuroma; intraoperative monitoring of brainstem function during posterior fossa surgeries.
