对63名2~12岁儿童进行脑干诱发电位(BEP)和耳镜检查，初步评价BEP潜伏期测量对中耳异常的敏感性。I波是最敏感的成分，81.25%的急性化脓性中耳炎患者和62.50%的分泌性中耳炎患者的潜伏期比正常对照组延长了1个SD以上。在相同的受试者组中，86.21%和93.31%的受试者在中耳炎缓解后复查时I波潜伏期在正常范围内。尽管耳镜检查正常，BEP技术仍能识别出几个听力检测结果异常的受试者。使用脑干听觉诱发电位作为传统听觉评估方法的临床辅助手段是有意义的。
Sixty-three children from 2 to 12 years of age were studied by means of brain stem evoked potentials (BEP) and otoscopic evaluation in a preliminary assessment of the sensitivity of BEP latency measures to middle ear abnormality. Wave I proved to be the most sensitive component; 81.25% of subjects with acute suppurative otitis media and 62.50% of subjects with secretory otitis media demonstrated latencies prolonged by more than 1 SD beyond the values observed in normal control subjects. Of the same subject groups, 86.21% and 93.31% demonstrated wave I latencies within normal limits upon retesting after the otitis had resolved. The BEP technique permitted identification of several subjects with abnormal audiometric findings despite normal otoscopy. There are implications for use of the BEP as a clinical adjunct to traditional methods of auditory assessment.
