The auditory brain stem response to click stimuli was investigated in a group of 50 full-term healthy newborns, as well as in a group of 20 older children and adults. The stimulus parameters of click level and click repetition rate were varied systematically to quantify the characteristics of the auditory brain stem response in the full-term newborn infant. The results reveal increased latencies for waves I, III, and V for all conditions among the newborns, relative to the older age group. The results suggest that the neurological system is the primary source of differences between newborns and older subjects, but do not rule out the possibility that external ear, middle ear, or cochlear mechanisms may also contribute to the differences observed.
对一组50名足月健康新生儿以及一组20名大龄儿童和成年人进行了对咔嗒声刺激的听觉脑干反应研究。系统地改变咔嗒声强度和咔嗒声重复率等刺激参数,以量化足月新生儿听觉脑干反应的特征。结果显示,与大龄组相比,新生儿在所有条件下I、III和V波的潜伏期均增加。结果表明,神经系统是新生儿与大龄受试者之间差异的主要来源,但不排除外耳、中耳或耳蜗机制也可能导致所观察到的差异的可能性。
