  • Title: Characteristics of electrically evoked potentials in patients with auditory neuropathy/auditory dys-synchrony.
    Author: Shallop JK, Jin SH, Driscoll CL, Tibesar RJ.
    Journal: Int J Audiol; 2004 Dec; 43 Suppl 1():S22-7. PubMed ID: 15732378.
    Abstract:
    The primary goal of this study was to compare the characteristics of the post-implant evoked potentials with preimplant evoked potentials in patients with auditory neuropathy (AN) or dys-synchrony. AN is typically characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, reduced speech perception, abnormal temporal processing, and unusual patterns of results with various objective audiological tests. In some cases, these patients may be appropriate candidates for a cochlear implant. In this article, we highlight evoked potential findings in two children diagnosed with AN who were provided with multichannel cochlear implants. Preoperative, interoperative and postoperative evoked potential measures show that the restoration of neural synchrony may occur at multiple levels of the auditory pathways in patients with AN when appropriate diagnostic tests, cochlear implantation and rehabilitation are provided.
