Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Auditory brainstem responses (ABR) are used to evaluate the peripheral and central functions of the auditory tract. Air and bone-conduction auditory stimuli are used to evaluate the type and degree of hearing loss. The wave latencies and interpeak latencies (IPLs) are the important diagnostic data in ABR tests. Gender and age of the patients are some of the factors affecting these latencies. This study investigated the effects of age and gender on the wave and IPLs of bone-conduction ABR.
