Electrophysiologic Study of a Family

Eliahu Shanon, MD; Mordechai Z. Himelfarb, MD; Shlomit Gold, MA

Arch Otolaryngol. 1981;107(4):254-256.

Abstract
• Hearing function and auditory brainstem potentials were evaluated in nine members of three generations of a family affected with Friedreich's ataxia. The characteristic findings were high-frequency sensorineural hearing impairment of varying severity and diminished or absent N¹, N², and N³ responses. These electrophysiologic aberrations correlate topographically with previously reported pathological observations.
