  • Title: Age effect in speech audiometry and in brainstem electric response audiometry.
    Author: Debruyne F, Tyberghein J.
    Journal: Audiology; 1989; 28(5):258-61. PubMed ID: 2803112.
    Abstract:
    A review of the files of 152 patients with normal hearing or slight hearing loss revealed in the older age group that (1) scores on the synthetic sentence identification task (SSI, S/N = 0 dB) have a tendency to drop in comparison with the discrimination scores for phonetically balanced words in silence (PB), and that (2) the wave V of the auditory brainstem response shows a greater latency prolongation when the stimulation rate is increased. However, no statistical correlation between these two age-linked phenomena emerged, so they seem to be the result of two independent processes.
