Abstract：Objective To report values of high and normal rate ABRs in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopneasyndrome and their relationship with intermittent hypoxia. Methods Fifty eight (116 ears) patients with OSAHSand normal adults were selected. ABRs were tested at rates of 11/sec and 51/sec and the results were compared betweenpatients and normal adults. Results At 11/s, waves Ⅰ and Ⅴ latencies in OSAHS patients were longer than those in normalsubjects (1.51 ± 0.13 ms and 5.65 ± 0.23 ms vs 1.33 ± 0.07 ms and 5.53 ± 0.23 ms, respectively) in both ears. At 51/s, waves Ⅰ and Ⅴ latencies in the patients were also prolonged as compared to the normal subjects (1.64 ± 0.12 ms and5.92 ± 0.26 ms vs 1.44 ± 0.06 ms and 5.80 ± 0.18 ms, respectively) (P <0.05). However, there were no significant differences between the two groups (P >0.05) for the wave Ⅰ-Ⅴ interval and wave interval differences. Conclusions High stimulation rate ABRs may be used to detect cochlear injury in patients with moderate and severe OSAHS.
