The calibration of the abrupt click stimulus used in auditory brainstem response audiometry presents some unique problems. This report describes the critical aspects of the click stimulus (intensity, waveform, polarity, and spectrum) and relates them to possible contamination of auditory brainstem response test results. Techniques for measuring and reporting click stimulus parameters are also discussed.
