Brainstem auditory-evoked potential (BAEP) examinations were performed in 15 patients with long-standing type-1 diabetes mellitus (DM). Cardiovascular reflex tests were applied for assessment of autonomic neuropathy. The aim of our investigation was to compare the BAEP results of this patient group with controls and to look for a possible correlation between the alteration of the auditory brainstem function and the cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. Analysis of the latencies (waves I, II, III and V) and the inter-peak latencies (waves I-III and I-V) of BAEPs revealed a significant difference between diabetics and healthy controls. The amplitudes of waves I, III and V were definitely lower in comparison with those of healthy controls. A positive correlation was observed between the overall autonomic score and the latencies (waves III and V) and inter-peak latencies (waves I-III and I-V). These data support the hypothesis that long-standing DM and diabetic neuropathy might be related as a cause of certain dysfunctions of the central auditory pathways.
