Abstract
Background: A smartphone is an essential part of our daily existence. Smartphones are used by about 5.26 billion people.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine how the duration of smartphone use influenced brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs).
Methods: BAEPs were measured using BERAGRAPH in 41 young healthy persons in an observational cross-sectional study.
Results: When daily smartphone calling time is 60 minutes, there is a statistically insignificant difference in smartphone usage length (5 years and >5 years) between the two groups among BAEPs.
Conclusion: Despite the P-value being insignificant, there is a positive relationship between smartphone use in years and absolute wave latencies and interpeak latencies of brainstem evoked potentials.
