Left ears showed a trend towards significance (0.82 ± 0.09 vs. 0.67 ± 0.05; p = 0.14); however, these differences were more statistical artifacts than an indication of potential hearing loss.

There was a strong trend for a greater fast-rate Wave V latency in the left ears of T-4 participants than controls, but the Wave V amplitudes and amplitude-to-latency ratios were not different.
However, the right ear latency data for the Wave I slow rate and Wave V fast rate indicated a possible trend toward hearing issues for flight line personnel working on F-15 aircraft based on the ABR tests. 3.10.
For the ABR slow-rate results in the upper portion of Table 12 , only Wave I to III latency (significance in right ears; trend in the left) and Wave V amplitude (trends in both ears but almost significant in the left) had decreases in both ears.
Between the type of data being analyzed and the low number of participants per aircraft, the r-squared values were low, in spite of higher associations and significance or near significance.
Meanwhile, in the right ears, the trend was the opposite, with the Wave V amplitudes and amplitude-to-latency ratios showing a slight trend of differences between controls and T-4 participants and no difference for Wave V fast-rate latency.
