An Open-Source Deep Learning-Based GUI Toolbox for Automated Auditory Brainstem Response Analyses (ABRA).

ABSTRACT: Hearing loss is a pervasive global health challenge with profound impacts on communication, cognitive function, and quality of life. Recent studies have established age-related hearing loss as a significant risk factor for dementia, highlighting the importance of hearing loss research. Auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), which are electrophysiological recordings of synchronized neural activity from the auditory nerve and brainstem, serve as in vivo readouts for sensory hair cell, synaptic integrity, hearing sensitivity, and other key features of auditory pathway functionality, making them highly valuable for both basic neuroscience research and clinical diagnostics. Despite their utility, traditional ABR analyses rely heavily on subjective manual interpretation, leading to considerable va
