Aging effects on auditory middle latency responses.
Age-related effects on auditory middle latency responses (MLR) were studied in 51 normal subjects. The linear relationship between the amplitude of Na-Pa and Pa-Nb components and aging was observed, although there was no correlation between aging and the latencies of Na, Pa and Nb. The increases in the amplitudes of Na-Pa and Pa-Nb components might reflect the age-related change of auditory responses.
