BAER Test

Deadline for Pre-Registration is Sept. 6th

Price for registration the day of the clinic is: $65.00

 Examination protocol

• BAER testing is done on canines at least 35 days old.
• A signal equivalent to between 70 and 105 dB nHL (normal hearing level) is used to obtain a response with peaks I and V judged present at their appropriate latencies.
• Insert earphones will be used.
• Chemical restraint is optional.
• The test is done in such a manner that movement will not cause an artifact that could be mistaken for a response to a stimulus.
• At least 200 clicks will be used to obtain the response.
• A masking tone is not considered necessary if recordings are made with electrodes positioned along the midline and in the ipsilateral mastoid region; a masking tone is necessary if the electrodes are placed along the midline at the vertex and the T-1.
• Under appropriate circumstances when an ear tests as deaf using air-conducted stimuli, and the possibility of conduction deafness exists (chronic otitis, excess ear wax accumulation), repeat testing with a bone stimulation transducer is recommended.
• A printed copy of the BAER Test tracing will be provided to the owner and the OFA.
• The Printed copy of the BAER tracing must contain the dog’s name or identification linking it to this application.
