Methods different stimulation pulse width (0.04,0.1 ms), different recording methods (posterior wall of external auditory canal, head) recording of facial nerve evoked potentials; severed facial nerve were observed before and cut off behind the evoked potential changes. The results in other stimulus conditions and recording the same method, using short-wave to stimulate a more wide-0.04ms pulse width 0.1ms to stimulate the facial nerve evoked potentials derived from the wave latency standard deviation is small; in the same stimulation parameters, the rats were posterior wall of external auditory canal head record than their record derived from waveform stability; severed facial nerve, may meet evoked potential N1 wave latency prolongation or wave disappeared and so on. Conclusion The stimulus pulse width 0.04ms, get a clearer record of the external auditory canal posterior wall, reproducible facial nerve evoked potential waveform; of facial nerve evoked potentials can reflect the functional status of facial nerve. Keywords:: facial nerve; evoked potentials; rat ABSTRACT: Objective To explore the best method of stimulation and record of facial nerve evoked potentials and its clinic values. Methods Through stimulated with the different incitement timing (0.04ms, 0.1ms) we got facial nerve evoked potential with two channels record (the posterior wall of the external auditory canal; vertex). The varieties of facial nerve evoked potentials were observed after cutting off the facialstem. Results Under the same condition, more standard deviation result in the group of stimulate timing 0.04 ms were smaller than that in the group of sti
