“…This study found significant differences between patients with end stage CRF prior to hemodialysis and healthy matched controls in all ABR measures of auditory function, except interpeak latency I-III; this is in agreement with Rossini et al, [9] who reported prolongation of all ABR waves following wave I.…”

“…The authors noted prolonged latencies and interpeak latency differences, indicating involvement of the entire auditory pathway. The temporary effect of hemodialysis on peaks III and V at the slow rate and I and V at the fast rate are consistent with Rossini et al, [9] who found a decrease in I-V interpeak latency 26 hours following hemodialysis, albeit in only two patients, which precludes generalization.…”

This study evaluated the effects of end stage chronic renal failure (CRF) on auditory function and changes in auditory function following a single session of hemodialysis. The experimental group included 31 patients with end-stage renal failure on chronic hemodialysis. The control group consisted of 31 healthy volunteers. The patients were examined prior to and following a session of hemodialysis. Measurements included pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and acoustic reflex measurements, auditory brainstem responses (ABR), and blood now chemistry parameters. Controls underwent the same test battery, with the exception of biochemical and hematological assessment. Prior to hemodialysis sessions, all ABR latencies except interpeak latency I-III were significantly prolonged in the experimental group. A comparison between controls and the experimental group following hemodialysis indicated that wave V absolute latency and interpeak latencies III-V and I-V were significantly prolonged in the slow repetition rate paradigm. In the fast repetition rate, absolute latencies of waves I and V and III-V interpeak latencies were prolonged in the experimental group. Comparison of ABR recordings prior to and following hemodialysis showed overall significant difference between the measures. Post hoc analysis showed a significant improvement in wave I and V latencies in the slow repetition rate and wave V latency in the fast repetition rate. This study showed that neural conduction along the auditory pathway is delayed in patients with end stage CRF as compared to healthy subjects. Dialysis sessions improve overall neural auditory function. However, patients with end stage CRF show delayed conduction even after a session of hemodialysis.

“…As the patients included in the study included those with normal hearing, delay in wave latencies is suggestive of subclinical involvement of auditory end organs and auditory nerve. Rossini [8] and Pratt [9] established that patients of CRF have hearing loss on the basis of pure tone audiometry and brainstem evoked response audiometry.…”
