- Abstract
- We report 3 children without any brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) neural component who all retained isolated cochlear microphonic potentials as well as click-evoked otoacoustic emissions. Two of them demonstrated only moderately impaired audiometric thresholds. These features correspond to a peculiar pattern of auditory dysfunction recently coined 'auditory neuropathy'. In contrast with the published previous cases of auditory neuropathy presenting with an acquired hearing deficit as children or young adults, all 3 children had a history of major neonatal illness and the auditory neuropathy was already demonstrated in the first months of their lives.
