Abstract :
53 normal adult male subjects were used for analysis in the study reported. While analysing the values, the results were grouped according to the ages <19, <29, <39, <49, and >50. The recording was done for both right and left ears. The average values of the computed results for the right ear is given in a table. The values for the left ear were found to be more or less similar to the right ear. The results show that the absolute latencies of all the peaks except wave IV increase with age. Similarly the interpeak latencies between I-III and I-V show increased values, whereas for III-V, III-IV and IV-V there are decreased values
