    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of rehabilitation systems (CROS: Contralateral Routing of Signal; BAHA: Bone-Anchored Hearing Aid; CI: cochlear implant) on cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP) and auditory performance in unilateral hearing loss. SUBJECTS AND METHOD: Twenty-one adults with unilateral hearing loss, using CROS (n=6), BAHA (n=6) or CI (n=9), were included. Seven normal-hearing subjects served as controls. CAEPs were recorded for a (/ba/) speech stimulus; for patients, tests were conducted with and without their auditory rehabilitation. Amplitude and latency of the various CAEP components of the global field power (GFP) were measured, and scalp potential fields were mapped. Behavioral assessment used sentence recognition in noise, with and without spatial cues. RESULTS: Only CI induced N1 peak amplitude change (P<0.05). CI and CROS increased polarity inversion amplitude in the contralateral ear, and frontocentral negativity on the scalp potential map. CI improved understanding when speech was presented to the implanted ear and noise to the healthy ear, and vice-versa. CONCLUSION: Cochlear implantation had the greatest impact on CAEP morphology and auditory performance. A longitudinal study could analyze progression of cortical reorganization.
