Abstract:
Auditory brain stem responses potentials were recorded from 71 newborns within the first 2 weeks after birth; conceptional age ranged from 37 to 41 weeks. Thirty-nine newborns were infants of diabetic mothers (IDMs) (17 White A, 22 White B-D) and 32 healthy term newborns served as control group. IDMs with additional high risk for cochlear or brain stem integrity were excluded. Birthweight for gestational age was significantly higher for IDMs. No differences in auditory brain stem responses wave latencies or amplitudes were observed between healthy infants of the control group and IDMs.
