[Electrocochleographic potential pattern, recorded by different pick-ups (author's transl)].

At electrocochleography, the active electrode was placed on the earlobe, the mastoid, the nasopharynx, the hard palate and the external ear-canal respectively. It could be shown that the potential pattern, consisting of five components, during the first 8 msec after the click-onset could be obtained from all the above mentioned sites. In relation to the various electrode pick-ups we obtained different amplitude functions with nearly the same latency behaviour for all five potentials.
