Certain subtypes, such as common cavity and cochlear nerve canal stenosis, often exhibited elevated thresholds. Despite this, wave latency parameters often remained stable. Among patients with Incomplete Partition Type II (IP-II), eABR detectability varied considerably, indicating that cochlear size alone does not determine neural response strength. Factors such as stimulation site, electrode type, and timing of auditory input influenced eABR outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>eABR is a useful tool for evaluating auditory pathway integrity in patients with IEMs. Elevated thresholds may reflect reduced neural synchrony, yet stable waveforms suggest retained function.
