The top tracing in this case shows no recordable ABR to alternating polarity acoustic clicks at the maximum presentation level (100 dBnHL). The lower tracings also reveal no auditory brainstem potentials, but show clear cochlear…

Cochlear implantation of auditory neuropathy.

A case study of a child with AN who received a cochlear implant and an electrically evoked auditory nerve action potential was evident following implantation, suggesting restoration to some degree of neural synchrony.

Auditory Neuropathy/Dys-synchrony and Its Perceptual Consequences

The perceptual consequences of auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony are examined, which are quite different from those associated with sensorineural hearing loss, and currently available, and future management options are considered.

Speech Perception in Noise for Children with Auditory Neuropathy/Dys-Synchrony Type Hearing Loss

The results of this investigation indicate that significant perceptual disruption occurs both in children with auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony and sensorineural type hearing loss.

Clinical findings for a group of infants and young children with auditory neuropathy.

The results suggest that auditory neuropathy is more common in the infant population than previously suspected and the effects of neuropathy on auditory function appear to be idiosyncratic, producing significant variations in both the detection and discrimination of auditory signals.

Auditory nerve disease of both ears revealed by auditory brainstem responses, electrocochleography and otoacoustic emissions.

We report on two patients who showed absence of auditory brainstem response (ABR) but broad compound action potentials on electrocochleograms and almost normal otoacoustic emissions, together with…

Ten(HL)-test results and psychophysical tuning curves for subjects with auditory neuropathy

It appears that high thresholds in noise are caused by poor processing efficiency, perhaps associated with loss of neural synchrony.

Transient Deafness Due To Temperature‐Sensitive Auditory Neuropathy

Three children, ages 3 and 6, and an unrelated child, age 15, have an auditory neuropathy manifested by a disorder of auditory nerve function in the presence of normal cochlear outer hair cell functions that is likely to be inherited as a recessive disorder.

Consequences of neural asynchrony: A case of auditory neuropathy

Electrophysiological and behavioral data from a rare case of auditory neuropathy in a woman with normal hearing thresholds are presented, making it possible to separate audibility from neuropathy, and it is illustrated that optimal eighth nerve and auditory brainstem synchrony do not appear to be essential for understanding speech in quiet listening situations.

Speech Perception and Cortical Event Related Potentials in Children with Auditory Neuropathy

Obligatory ERP test results may offer a means of predicting perceptual skills in newly diagnosed youngsters as the presence of ERPs (with age-appropriate latency and morphology) was correlated with significant open set speech perception abilities and amplification benefit.

Auditory neuropathy.

It is suggested that this type of hearing impairment is due to a disorder of auditory nerve function and may have, as one of its causes, a neuropathy of the auditory nerve, occurring either in isolation or as part of a generalized neuropathic process.
