title: [Electrophysiological hearing examination in children and teenagers with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].
abstract: In 60 children and youngsters aged 14-19 (average 16.5) with insulin dependent diabetes (lasting on average 5.5 years) and normal hearing in pure tone audiometry electrophysiological examinations (ABR, SP) were performed; 48% of the cases revealed changes in latencies of I, III, V waves, especially as an elongation of I and V waves. In the peripheral interlatencie (III-I; V-I) shortening and in V-III elongation were observed. In SP examination most often shortening of N1 (67%) and P2 (87%) were found. Statistically significant dependence of latency changes on the state of metabolic balance was stated. It was not found referring to the duration of diabetes, age and gender of the patients.
