The mean amplitudes of the 6 peaks of the speech-ABR are shown, with error bars representing +1 standard deviation of the mean. From these plots, it is clear that the amplitudes of the peaks of the young men are smaller than those of the young women; this difference was statistically significant for waves V, A, and F (P<0.05), but the sex difference of the amplitude in waves D, E, and O were without statistical significance (P>0.05). The asterisk (*) indicates a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).
