ABR(auditory brainstem response) is one of the audiometry which measures objective hearing threshold level by acquiring electric evoked potentials emanated from auditory nerve system responding to an auditory stimulation. However, the obtained potentials which are largely interfered by power line noise, have extremely low SNR, thus ensemble average algorithm is generally used. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of iteration number in ensemble average on the reduction of the power line noise. The power line noise was modeled to be a 60 Hz sinusoidal signal and the energy of the modeled signal was calculated when it was averaged. It was verified by simulation that the energy had the periodic zero points for each stimulation rate, and 60 Hz signal induced by the power line was applied to the developed ABR system to confirm that the period of zero energy point was the same with that of the simulation. By the properly selected iteration number, power line noise could be reduced and more reliable ABR could be acquired.
