Prenatal cocaine exposure has been associated with a variety of adverse neurological effects. Three recent studies found evidence that prenatal cocaine exposure is associated with abnormal auditory electrophysiology, suggesting abnormal processing of auditory information. The present study used the auditory brainstem response to evaluate the effects of prenatal cocaine exposure on hearing in an animal model (Long-Evans rat). We report that prenatal cocaine exposure can cause elevated ABR thresholds and latency-intensity curves consistent with a recruitment-type sensorineural hearing loss.
