Description	Journal: Scandinavian audiology This communication describes the results of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) obtained in 25 healthy mature newborns with a follow-up at 3 months of age. The combination of ipsi- and contralateral recordings, the intensity series and the comparison with the composite group averages are useful for the identification of the separate ABR components. Differences between the records after right or left ear stimulation were not observed. Comparing our data with those obtained by others, we conclude that the interpeak latency differences (IPLDs) offer a more consistent measure of ABR latency values than the peak latencies measured from stimulus onset. The simultaneously recorded ABRs ipsi- and contralateral to stimulation show both at term, and at 3 months, an equal central conduction time. The ABR II-V complex shows contralaterally a significant shift compared with the ipsilateral II-V complex. The significant latency changes observed between term and at 3 months are due mainly to the latency decrease in the II-III IPLD.
