“…Similar results were reported by Pratt et al, [8] who found abnormal ABRs in 24% of the patients at slow stimulus presentation rate (10/sec) and 44% of the patients at the fast presentation rate (55/sec). The authors noted prolonged latencies and interpeak latency differences, indicating involvement of the entire auditory pathway.…”

“…Pratt et al [8] noted latency improvement in waves III and V in the slow repetition rate and waves I and V in the fast repetition rate. The present study found that absolute wave V latency improved significantly following hemodialysis in both repetition rates.…”

“…In addition, Pratt et al [8] reported changes in absolute and interpeak latency that were correlated to Ca ++ ion changes prior to and following hemodialysis. This correlation was noted for wave III and V absolute latencies at the 10/s click rate, and to wave I and V absolute latencies at the 55/s click rate.…”

This study evaluated the effects of end stage chronic renal failure (CRF) on auditory function and changes in auditory function following a single session of hemodialysis. The experimental group included 31 patients with end-stage renal failure on chronic hemodialysis. The control group consisted of 31 healthy volunteers. The patients were examined prior to and following a session of hemodialysis. Measurements included pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and acoustic reflex measurements, auditory brainstem responses (ABR), and blood now chemistry parameters. Controls underwent the same test battery, with the exception of biochemical and hematological assessment. Prior to hemodialysis sessions, all ABR latencies except interpeak latency I-III were significantly prolonged in the experimental group. A comparison between controls and the experimental group following hemodialysis indicated that wave V absolute latency and interpeak latencies III-V and I-V were significantly prolonged in the slow repetition rate paradigm. In the fast repetition rate, absolute latencies of waves I and V and III-V interpeak latencies were prolonged in the experimental group. Comparison of ABR recordings prior to and following hemodialysis showed overall significant difference between the measures. Post hoc analysis showed a significant improvement in wave I and V latencies in the slow repetition rate and wave V latency in the fast repetition rate. This study showed that neural conduction along the auditory pathway is delayed in patients with end stage CRF as compared to healthy subjects. Dialysis sessions improve overall neural auditory function. However, patients with end stage CRF show delayed conduction even after a session of hemodialysis.

“…more sensitive to white matter than gray matter lesions. The ISR was compared in different clinical entities involving demyelination ischemia, viral and space-occupying lesions [2] in addition to a variety of meta bolic pathologies as diabetes mellitus, Bell's palsy [6], uremia [7] and hyperlipidemia [3]. The ISR effect was found to be pathologi cally increased in ischemic, viral and some metabolic lesions.…”

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials with and without Increased Stimulus Rate as Diagnostic Tool in Brainstem Minor Transient Changes

Two clinical groups of patients – 25 with Parkinson’s disease and 17 with migraine – were evaluated using brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) to regular (10/s) and increased (55/s) stimulus rates. Each group of patients had an age-matched control group. The BAEP data were statistically evaluated, comparing the data of migraine patients during and between migraine spells, and the parkinsonian patients before and after L-dopa treatment. We believe that when group data are compared BAEP to an increased stimulus rate is an efficient tool for detecting even minor transient reversible physiologic changes of the brainstem.

“…As the patients included in the study included those with normal hearing, delay in wave latencies is suggestive of subclinical involvement of auditory end organs and auditory nerve. Rossini [8] and Pratt [9] established that patients of CRF have hearing loss on the basis of pure tone audiometry and brainstem evoked response audiometry.…”
