Objectives: Introducing an approach for diagnosing the normal ABR independently or supplementary used to confirm the results of the other approaches. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in a descriptive manner on 31 male students of audiology in the Rehabilitation Faculty which were not chosen randomly. All of the samples aged between 18 to 25 years old with normal hearing and with no history of hearing disorder. They were tested in the winter of 1377 by ABR. The resulted of their ABR tests (62 curves) were in accordance with the convenient latency norms. After the preparation stage, the frequency analysis of the curves was considered through the Fast Fourier Transform function. Results: considering the power and phase spectrum, three components are recognized, and phase for their frequency, amplitude and phase are determined.The normative values of the obtained amounts of the frequency, amplitude and phase for the frequency analysis results of the normal ABR curves are as follows:* First Component: Frequency: 340-530 Hz, Amplitude: 23-31 dB, Phase: 0-3 radian * Second Component: Frequency: 540-370 Hz, Amplitude: 20-30 dB, Phase: 0.3-2.7 radian * Third Component: Frequency: 750-1024 Hz, Amplitude: 19-30dB, Phase: 0-3.3 radian onclusion: The results of the present study are exclusively valid for the society being considered, and their generalization requires more researches. |
