Amplification Options in Children with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder
نویسنده
چکیده
Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a specific form of hearing loss characterized by the presence of normal or near-normal Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) but the absence of normal middle ear muscle reflex and severely abnormal or completely absent auditory brainstem response (ABRs). Amplification is considered a dilemma in such disorder with a lot of debates. This article will review hearing aids and cochlear implant as options for management in ANSD.

PURPOSE This review summarizes current evidence related to the audiologic management of children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). METHOD A systematic search of the literature was conducted in 25 electronic databases (e.g., PubMed, CINAHL, and ERIC) using key words such as auditory neuropathy, auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, auditory neuropathy/dyssynchrony, and hearin...
متن کاملThe Effect of Amplification on Cortical Synchrony in Children with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD)
! The benefit of hearing aids as a clinical intervention strategy for children with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) remains controversial. The goal of this study was to determine whether amplification through hearing aid use increases cortical phase synchrony in children with ANSD. Using inter-trial coherence (ITC) of the EEG signal as our measure of cortical phase-locking, we exam...

Background. Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) has been reported in up to 10% of all children with hearing loss. It is widely accepted that it can be difficult to identify and manage children with ANSD through typical clinical procedures, in comparison to children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). An important limitation in managing children with ANSD is that behavioral pure-ton...
