| Abstract: | Binaural interactions in brain-stem auditory evoked potentials and in middle latency auditory evoked potentials were studied in 18 normal hearing adults and 10 normal term infants. Binaural interactions at the times of ABR waves V and VI were comparable in term infants and adults. Binaural interaction during the time domain of the middle latency auditory evoked potentials was the greatest at N20 in term infants and at N40 in adults. Measurement of binaural interaction during maturation may be a useful tool in assessing neurologically affected infants. |
