Abstract :
The effects of subject age, gender and test ear on auditory brainstem response (ABR) discrete wavelet transform (DWT) results were examined at a fixed stimulus intensity in 120 normal subjects. Subject age and gender were shown to affect the ABR DWT results and must therefore be considered in any clinical ABR DWT analysis
