Wave V threshold among children with delayed speech and language, using brainstem evoked response audiometry – A cross-sectional study

Tanushree Mondal, Hiya Bhattacharya, Sonali Majumdar (Das).

Abstract
Background: Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is an objective test for audiometric assessment of children. As deprived linguistic skill is often associated with auditory impairment in initial years of life; early diagnosis and interventions are much needed.

Aim and Objective: To detect Wave V, in the lowest intensity, as it is a reliable parameter to assess BERA threshold for hearing among different age group of children.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 250 children (n = 250) with impaired speech and 120 normal children. The case population was divided into four groups according to age – Group 1 (<1 year); Group 2 (1–3 years); Group3 (3–6 years); and Group 4 (6–12 years). Wave V threshold was determined by BERA (measure brainstem auditory evoked potential). Cases were also divided into two categories depending on unilateral or bilateral involvement of ear. Mean threshold of each group was compared with corresponding control group of similar age. The test of significance used was Mann–Whitney U-test. Intragroup comparison was done by Kruskal–Wallis test.

Results: In Group 1, 91.7%; Group 2, 100%; Group 3; 88.6%, and Group 4; 85% of children were suffering from bilateral hearing loss. In all the groups, mean threshold was statistically significantly increased in comparison with control group. In intragroup comparison, there was no statistically significant difference of threshold among all the groups of cases in both of the ears.

Conclusions: This study identified increased wave V threshold in children with impaired speech of all four groups. Thereby, it indicates the necessity of BERA as screening method.
