摘要
目的探讨言语声诱发听性脑干反应(speech-evoked auditory brainstem response,s-ABR)对早期发现隐性听力损失的临床价值。方法选取纯音听阈正常、无噪声暴露史的正常青年人27例(正常组,年龄21.04±1.04岁,男15例,女12例)和纯音听阈正常、有噪声暴露史的工人15例(工人组,均为男性,年龄27.09±3.05岁),分别进行纯音测听、声导抗和耳声发射测试,通过标准为各频率纯音听阈≤20 dB HL、鼓室导抗图为A型、耳声发射正常,对通过者行s-ABR测试,分析两组间s-ABR各波潜伏期和幅值的差异。结果两组受试者三项测试均通过,正常组女性s-ABR的波V和波A潜伏期均小于正常男性,波A的幅值明显高于正常男性(P<0.05);工人组s-ABR波A、D、O的潜伏期较正常组男性明显延长(P<0.05),两组间波幅差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论对有噪声暴露史但纯音听阈正常者,s-ABR能灵敏及时地发现其听力损失,s-ABR对临床诊断隐性听力损失可能有一定的价值。
Objective To explore the clinical diagnostic values and meaning of s-ABR in the early detection of hidden hearing loss by comparing the results of speech-evoked auditory brainstem response(s-ABR) between normal and noise-exposed workers.Methods Normal young people(21.04±1.04 years) exposed no noise and workers(27.09±3.05 years)exposed to noise were selected for audiological screening tests, including pure tone audiometry, acoustic impedance testing, and otoacoustic emission testing. The screening test criterion for pure tone audiometry was ≤20 dB HL, the tympanogram was A type, and otoacoustic emission results were present. The s-ABR test was used to rescreen those who had passed the initial screening. The differences were then compared in latency and amplitude of each wave of s-ABR between genders in the normal group and between normal and worker groups.Results The wave V and wave A latencies for women were lower than that of men, and the amplitudes of wave A were significantly higher than that of men. There were significant differences between the groups(P<0.05). The latencies of wave A, D, and O in the exposed workers were significantly longer than that of the normal group(P<0.05). There were no differences in wave amplitudes between the two groups.Conclusion s-ABR can well reflect the coding and processing of speech stimuli in the auditory system and detect hidden hearing loss in a sensitive and timely manner. It may have certain value for clinical diagnosis of hidden hearing loss.
