Cortical auditory evoked potential testing in infants and young children
نویسندگان
چکیده
The implementation of universal newborn hearing screening programmes throughout the world has increased the need for reliable, objective techniques for fitting and evaluating hearing aids in young infants. For infants found to have a hearing loss as a result of newborn hearing screening intervention, including hearing aid fitting, is typically occurring by age 6-8 weeks. It is difficult to assess hearing aid effectiveness using behavioural techniques in such young infants. Auditory evoked potentials provide an objective measure of the brain’s response to sound and are a tool that can be used to assess aided as well as unaided auditory function in infants.

Aided Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials for Hearing Instrument Evaluation in Infants
With the widespread implementation of universal newborn hearing screening programs there is a need for reliable, objective techniques for fitting and evaluating hearing instruments in young infants. After hearing loss is diagnosed, fitting of hearing instruments can occur when infants are as young as five weeks old (Yoshinaga-Itano 2004). At this stage of development it is difficult to assess h...

متن کاملThe relationship between cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) detection and estimated audibility in infants with sensorineural hearing loss.
OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of objective statistical detection in CAEP testing to evaluate audibility in young infants with sensorineural hearing loss. DESIGN CAEP recordings to speech-based stimuli were made at three presentation levels (55, 65, or 75 dB SPL) when a group of hearing-impaired infants were either aided or unaided. Later-obtained behavioral audiograms were used as ...

Objective: In neural response telemetry, intracochlear electrodes stimulate the auditory nerve and record the neural responses. The electrical stimulation is sent to the auditory nerve by an electrode and the resulted response, called electrically evoked compound action potential, is recorded by an adjacent electrode. The most important clinical applications of this test are evaluation and moni...
