[The alcohol effect on the latency time of acoustically evoked potentials (author's transl)]

The alcohol effect on the latency time of acoustically evoked potentials (ERA and 7 ms-Potentials) was investigated in 19 normal hearing persons. The latency time for N1 of the slow evoked potentials was significantly longer by alcohol concentrations of more than 1%. By blood levels=1.5% and by low stimulus intensity the results were more distinct. The alcohol effect was not registered by the brainstem potentials.
