Abstract: Objective： To investigate the longterm effect of radiotherapy on auditory brain stem function of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods： The auditory brain stem response(ABR) was examined in 33 patients (66 ears) with NPC before and at the first day, and on 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after radiotherapy. Results： There were no obvious harmon auditory functions at the first day after radiotherapy. The auditory function decreased significantly at 6 months after radiotherapy and slightly recovered in the next 6 months, but after that it slightly decreased again. Conclusions： Conventional radiotherapy harms the auditory function in the longterm after treatment, so effective means should be adopted as early as possible.
