This study explored electrical hearing perception in sensorineural hearing loss patients using an auditory electrical stimulator. Findings informed the development of a speech stimulator for prosthesis design.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) affects millions globally.
  • Current hearing prostheses have limitations in restoring natural hearing.
  • Electrical stimulation of the auditory system offers a potential therapeutic avenue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate hearing perception in SNHL patients via electrical stimulation of the cochlear promontory.
  • To determine the relationship between electrical signal characteristics and auditory percepts.
  • To inform the design of advanced auditory prostheses.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve SNHL patients received transtympanic electrical stimulation.
  • An auditory electrical stimulator delivered biphasic pulse and sine-wave bursts.

  • Perception thresholds, dynamic range, pitch/loudness discrimination, and loudness perception were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Electrical stimulation parameters (amplitude, width, rate, frequency) significantly influenced hearing perception.
    • Established perception thresholds, comfortable/uncomfortable levels, and dynamic ranges.
    • Developed a speech electrical stimulator for speech perception testing (vowel, consonant, word identification).

    Conclusions:

    • Electrical stimulation of the cochlear promontory can elicit auditory percepts in SNHL patients.
    • Understanding electrical signal-to-perception relationships is crucial for prosthesis development.
    • Results guide the design of a single-channel extracochlear prosthesis prototype.
