| Summary: | Auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a reliable hearing examination. It reflects the integrity of synchronous neurons firing within the periphery auditory pathways. Hearing impairment on the first five years will cause speech and language delays; therefore, early detection of hearing loss is very important. Nowadays, there is still no ABR value reference in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to establish the ABR values in toddlers with normal hearing. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study on 198 subjects between the ages of 3 month and 5 years in the period of December 2008 to June 2011 at the Hearing and Speech Clinic, Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. The hearing level were diagnosed by ABR examination in all subjects and the mean of ABR wave was calculated. Girls displayed shorter absolute latency of wave I, III and V, and interwave latency of I-III, III-V, and I-V compared to boys. The wave V latency in boys was 6.07 msec ±0.39 and 5.90 msec ±0.34 in girls. The 0–1 years old group have the longest absolute and interwave latencies. There was no significant differences in absolute and interwave latency between both ears in boys and girls. The conclusion of this study is the average wave V latencies in boys and girls are 6.07±0.39 msec and 5.90 ±0.34, respectively. |
