    Brain-stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) latencies show subtle age and sex differences in healthy individuals. While wave latencies increase with age, interpeak latencies remain stable, indicating consistent neural transmission times.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Brain-stem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) testing is crucial for assessing auditory pathway function.
    • Understanding normative BAEP values across different demographics is essential for accurate clinical interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of age and sex on BAEP latencies in individuals with normal hearing.
    • To establish normative data for BAEP parameters in a healthy population.

    Main Methods:

    • BAEPs were recorded from participants across various age groups with normal or near-normal hearing.
    • Latencies of waves I, III, and V, as well as the I-V interpeak latency (IPL), were measured.
    • Interaural time differences were also assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Males exhibited significantly longer latencies for waves III and V, and longer I-V IPLs compared to females across all age groups.
    • Wave I, III, and V latencies showed a slight increase (0.1-0.2 msec) with advancing age.
    • The I-V IPL remained consistent across all age groups, suggesting stable brainstem conduction time.
    • Waves I, III, and V demonstrated high recognizability, while waves II and IV were fairly recognizable.

    Conclusions:

    • Age and sex are significant factors influencing BAEP latencies in individuals with normal hearing.
    • Normative BAEP data highlight subtle sex-based differences and age-related changes in auditory nerve and brainstem function.
    • The stability of I-V IPL with age suggests robust brainstem auditory pathway integrity.
