The results of auditory brainstem evoked responses in 25 subjects of presbyacusis are compared with 25 age and sex matched controls. Absolute latent periods of wave I through V were significantly prolonged in presbyacusis group. Delayed wave I and no significant change in interwave interval latencies of I-V, III-V and mild shortening of interwave interval of I-III in presbyacusis is observed.
