Abstract

Diagnosed changes in long latent auditory evoked potentials confirm central nervous system disorders in patients long exposed to vibration and noise. These changes are lower rate of activation spread in afferent pathways and delayed response on cortical and subcortical levels. Local vibration and noise in humans cause formation of unidirectional mechanisms of pathologic response.
