Abstract:
The influence of an arctic environment on auditory evoked responses, both brainstem and cognitive, were evaluated in 10 Indian soldiers. They were first tested in Delhi and then flown to an arctic region where they were tested in the first week and again in the eighth week of their stay. Two migrants from Moscow, their usual place of residence, and six natives, born and brought up in the arctic, were also tested for comparison. The Indians, on their return to India, were tested again. The auditory evoked responses were recorded using the Nicolet (USA) Compact 4 Instrument. The Indians showed a delay in all the waves of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) during their induction in the arctic and these persisted even on their return to India whereas the migrants and the natives had relatively higher ABR latency values.
