Abstract：Objective To compare the latency and interphase of speech induced auditory brainstem responses(Speech ABRs)between normal children and those with receptive language disorders.Methods Speech ABRs were obtained in 23 children with receptive language disorders diagnosed at the Department of Children's Health,Hunan Children's Hospital,from October 2021 to January 2023 and in 23 normal children from the same period,and their response latencies and intervals were compared.Results The latency of transient components(wave A on right and wave V on left)in children with receptive language disorders was significantly longer than in normal children(P＜0.05),as well as the interval between waves V and A on the right(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the latency and interval of the residual wave between the two groups(P＞0.05).Children with receptive language disorders also showed longer wave D latency on left in their Speech ABR cycle compared to normal children(P＜0.05),but not in the latency and interval of the residual wave(P＞0.05).Conclusion Auditory brainstem nuclei in children with receptive language disorders can develop normally,with stable neural coding for speech stimulation,despite impairment of the auditory transmission pathway.
