A hundred thirteen ears in 76 cases underwest the traumatic deafness caused by beating at the ear and head were examined with the Evoked Potential System of Nicolet Spirit and the Pure tone audiometry.113 ears were divided into two groups. One group consisted of 32 ears with the tympanal perforation, which were further divided into small, medium and big perforations. The second group consisted of 81 ears without tympanal perforation,which were classified into mild, moderate,serious,severe and profound deafness. The two groups were all examined by EcochG and ABR. The wave latent periods of EcochG and ABR of two groups (small, medium perforation;mild,moderate deafness)were statistically analysed and were compared with those of the normal control group. The results of the square deviation analysis and Q test showed the significant difference (76. 7%, P
