ABSTRACT
Three types of auditory evoked potential responses i.e. auditory brainstem response (ABR), middle latency response (MLR) and slow vertex response (SVR) were studied in 22 post-menopausal Indian women to have a normative value for each response. Recordings were done on computerised evoked potential recorder using 10/20 system of electrode placement and standard click stimuli. The results were comparable with similar studies done in the western world indicating that there is no ethnic variation in evoked potential responses. The latencies of ABR waves showed an increase in menopausal females when compared with young adults indicating a delay in neural transmission which might be due to changed hormonal milieu of sex hormones after menopause. The normative values of MLR and SVR which represent the thalamo-cortical and cortical auditory projections are being reported in Indian menopausal women for the first time.
