ZNAChENIE AKUSTIChESKOGO REFLEKSA V DIAGNOSTIKE RETROKOKhLEARNOGO DEMIELINIZIRUYuShchEGO PORAZhENIYa SLUKhOVOGO ANALIZATORA

The paper considers the problem of early diagnosis of retrocochlear demyelinating lesion of the auditory analyzer by complex audiological examination and gives criteria for measuring the parameters of acoustic reflexes (AR), which correspond to retrocochlear demyelinating lesion of the auditory analyzer. Sixty-six of 70 patients with the established diagnosis of multiple sclerosis were found to have pathological AR changes. The results of AR examination were comparable with those of short-latency auditory evoked potential studies, computed electronystagmography, and brain magnetic resonance imaging.
