Auditory brain stem response (ABR) changes were observed in women throughout their menstrual cycle. Ovarian steroid fluctuations appear to influence these auditory evoked potential measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Audiology
  • Reproductive Endocrinology

Background:

  • The auditory brain stem response (ABR) reflects the integrity of the auditory pathway.
  • Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle can impact various physiological processes.
  • Understanding these changes is crucial for accurate audiological assessments in women.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively evaluate alterations in ABR parameters in healthy premenopausal women across the menstrual cycle.
  • To investigate the relationship between ovarian steroid variations and ABR characteristics.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 94 healthy premenopausal women with ovulatory cycles.
  • Auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) were used for ABR testing.

  • Measurements included wave I, III, and V latencies and interpeak intervals (I-III, I-V, III-V) during follicular, periovular, and luteal phases.

    • Main Results:

    • Shorter wave latencies and interpeak intervals were observed during the periovular phase compared to the luteal phase (p < .05).
    • Wave I latency and I-V interpeak interval were shorter during the follicular phase than the luteal phase (p < .05).

    Conclusions:

    • The menstrual cycle, specifically hormonal fluctuations, influences auditory brain stem response parameters.
    • These findings highlight the importance of considering the menstrual cycle phase in ABR interpretations for women.
