Auditory evoked responses in multiple sclerosis.
The early components of the auditory evoked responses (waves I-V) have been studied in 30 patients with multiple sclerosis. There were abnormalities in 22 patients. All patients with an internuclear ophthalmoplegia and half those with no detectable brainstem abnormality had abnormal responses, although none was clinically deaf.
