Influence of menopause on the auditory brainstem response
1Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, Mich.
Abstract:
Auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave latency, interpeak interval and amplitude as a function of intensity were measured in 40 subjects divided into equal groups of postmenopausal females, age-matched males and young adults of both sexes. The results illustrate that age and gender play a significant role in ABR wave latency and amplitude. A larger age effect occurred for the female subjects. While this does not dispute an anatomical explanation for the gender effect in ABR, hormonal changes accompanying menopause may also account for some of the gender differences noted in ABR.
