BackgroundClinical application of electrically-evoked intracochlear auditory brainstem responses (eABRs) for evaluation of brainstem maturity or aging changes has not been well investigated.Aim/objectiveWe compare the eV latencies of intraoperative eABR measurements in one-year-olds, infants, children, adults, and the elderly, with the goal of investigating the changes in the brainstem auditory pathway due to development and aging.Materials and methodsWe studied 58 ears of 51 patients who underwent cochlear implantation between 2013 and 2019 using MED-EL’s Concerto or Synchrony implants with Flex28 or Flex soft electrodes. EABRs were recorded during cochlear implantation. The stimuli were delivered by the MED-EL Maestro to the apical, middle, and basal turn electrodes at stimulus levels 1000, 800, and 600 cu, with a pulse width of 30 µs.ResultsIn eABRs recorded from electrodes installed at both the mastoid and nape, there was no difference in latency between age groups within each stimulus level.Conclusion and significanceABR latency was not affected by development after age one and aging of the brainstem auditory pathway. Our study will be useful as a control in identifying abnormal eABR wave configurations in patients with cochlear malformations, cochlear nerve deficiencies, or auditory neuropathy, regardless of age.
