Summary

Electrically evoked auditory steady state responses (EASSRs) to cochlear implant (CI) stimulation are reliably recorded using scalp electrodes. These EASSRs accurately predict hearing thresholds in CI users.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Audiology

Background:

  • Auditory steady state responses (ASSRs) are neural potentials reflecting auditory processing.
  • Cochlear implants (CIs) bypass damaged hair cells, but assessing their efficacy requires objective measures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of recording electrically evoked auditory steady state responses (EASSRs) in CI users.
  • To analyze the relationship between EASSRs and behavioral hearing thresholds.

Main Methods:

  • EASSRs were recorded from six CI users using scalp electrodes during low-rate (35-47 Hz) electrical stimulation.
  • Various stimulus parameters (intensity, pulse rate, stimulation mode) were evaluated.
  • Artifact reduction techniques were employed to isolate neural responses.

Cochlear Implant Surgery and Electrically-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response Recordings in C57BL/6 Mice

Published on: January 9, 2019

Main Results:

  • EASSRs were reliably recorded and separated from stimulation artifacts.
  • Response latencies in the 40 Hz range averaged 35.6 ms.
  • EASSR-derived thresholds correlated well with behavioral thresholds at 41 Hz pulse rates.

Conclusions:

  • Scalp-recorded EASSRs provide a valid electrophysiological measure in CI users.
  • EASSRs demonstrate predictive value for audibility thresholds, aiding CI programming and assessment.
