Behavioral, electrophysiologic, and otoacoustic measures from a child with auditory processing dysfunction: case report.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This case was selected to highlight the importance of the test battery approach in the assessment of a child with auditory processing deficits. The utility of behavioral, electrophysiologic, acoustic immittance, and evoked otoacoustic emission procedures, as well as the problems associated with interpreting these multiple measures with differing results, is discussed. This case was confounded by the possibility that both peripheral and central auditory problems existed. The outcome stresses the importance of examining the results of multiple auditory measures in the determination of the site of lesion and habilitation strategies.

Otoacoustic emissions as a cross-check in pediatric hearing assessment: case report.
Audiologic assessment of infants and young children can be confounded by neurologic disorders or neuromaturational delays. In some cases, this results in an inability to assess hearing sensitivity by behavioral measures or by auditory evoked potentials. This case illustrates such an audiologic challenge. Subject DF was born with hydrocephaly, which was treated with repeated shunt surgeries and ...
متن کاملنوروپاتی شنوایی در دو بیمار مبتلا به نوروپاتی عمومی: گزارش موردی
Background: Although it is not a new disorder, in recent times we have attained a greater understanding of auditory neuropathy (AN). In this type of hearing impairment, cochlear hair cells function but AN victims suffer from disordered neural transmission in the auditory pathway. The auditory neuropathy result profile often occurs as a part of that of the generalized neuropathic disorders, indi...
متن کاملAntiviral therapy in a child with pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV): case study of audiologic findings.
Over the past decade, much research has been conducted to determine the auditory consequences of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). This research, primarily using adult patients, has focused on the involvement of the central auditory nervous system (CANS). Measures of auditory evoked potentials, particularly the auditory brainstem respon...
متن کاملCase of recurrent, reversible, sudden sensorineural hearing loss in a child.
This paper describes audiologic, electrophysiologic, and medical test results for a now 10-year-old girl who has had 45 episodes of reversible, sudden sensorineural hearing loss over the last 8 years. Episodes have lasted from 6 to 72 hours and often have been accompanied by a mild illness. Acoustic immittance measures have been consistent with normal middle-ear function with the exception of a...
متن کاملBehavioral and electrophysiologic evidence of auditory processing disorder: a twin study.
We administered a battery of both behavioral and electrophysiologic measures to a pair of fraternal twin girls, one of whom exhibited symptoms consistent with an auditory processing disorder. Both twins were within normal limits on standardized tests of cognitive and language skills. Basic audiometric measures, as well as behavioral tests of simultaneous masking, backward masking, gap detection...
