Hearing Restoration with Auditory Brainstem Implant
Auditory brainstem implant (ABI) technology attempts to restore hearing in deaf patients caused by bilateral cochlear nerve injury through the direct stimulation of the brainstem, but many aspects of the related mechanisms remain unknown. The unresolved issues can be grouped into three topics: which patients are the best candidates; which type of electrode should be used; and how to improve res...
متن کاملAUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSES (ABR) IN HYPERBILIRUBINEMIC NEWBORNS
To evaluate the changes of ABR values in hyperbilirubinemic newborns, 85 cases with severe jaundice (total bilirubin levels over 16 mg/dL and direct bilirubin less than 2 mg/dL) were selected from those admitted to Children's Medical Center by simple sampling method. These infants had no other problem except jaundice. ABR was taken before treatment in all cases and in some (10 cases) after...

متن کاملOpen set speech perception with auditory brainstem implant?
OBJECTIVE Only a small percentage of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) recipients treated for neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) have proved capable of identifying words using only the sound from the ABI. Recently, the ABI was applied to a series of patients with no cochlear nerve or with cochlear disorders that could not benefit from a cochlear implant (i.e., cochlear nerve aplasia or posttraumatic...
متن کاملElectrically evoked auditory brainstem responses in cochlear implant patients.
Electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses (EABR) were recorded in completely deaf patients implanted with Ineraid multichannel cochlear implants. Clear and reproducible EABR were obtained from all patients. Parametric differences with auditory brainstem responses (ABR) were demonstrated and can be explained by the different natures of both types of stimulations (electric versus acoustic)...
