Auditory brainstem response analysis for long-term central auditory function sequelae in patients with chronic arsenic intoxication: A cross-sectional study

•The long-term auditory sequelae after arsenic exposure have never been evaluated.•We evaluated these sequelae in chronically-exposed and control groups.•The results of ABR analysis were similar between the groups.•The exposed group had normal hearing function 40 years after exposure cessation....
