Why cortical responses to evaluate hearing aid fitting in infants? Reliably present in awake young infantsReliably present in awake young infants More likely to correlate well with perceptionMore likely to correlate well with perception Can be elicited by a range of speech phonemes – close to desired outcomesCan be elicited by a range of speech phonemes – close to desired outcomes Stimuli handled reasonably by hearing aidsStimuli handled reasonably by hearing aids Can be very frequency specific if neededCan be very frequency specific if needed NAL : Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

The wave V thresholds across different frequencies can then be used to predict an audiogram. Problem 1: How can we work out the degree of the hearing loss when there is no ABR waveform?

Aims & Measures: 1.Predict whether average hearing levels are: <80 dBHL (hearing aid range) >80 dBHL (cochlear implant range) 2. Predict whether auditory function is significantly affected (with the view to look at speech discrimination ability in the future) 1.Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials a)Presence/absence of cortical response to different frequency stimuli. 2.Functional auditory ability: a)IT-MAIS and/or b)PEACH NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

creating sound value TM CAEP result assumptions Assumed audibility needed to be >=25 dBHL for each stimulus to elicit a response (audibility calculator). Assumed PTA thresholds didn’t change significantly between CAEP testing & the acquisition of reliable PTA results. Keep in mind: Functional assessments weren’t always performed close to the time of CAEP testing. Speech sounds used for CAEP testing need to be at a high enough level above threshold (i.e. sensation level) to elicit a response. Should be audible Less audible Inaudible Expect CAEP Less likely to see CAEP Don’t expect CAEP NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

creating sound value TM Presence/Absence CAEPs < 80dBHL n= 7 subjects in group (12 ears) n= 36 responses to analyze (m, g, t) 2 subjects subsequently found to be under-fitted for at least 2/3 responses. 5 subjects Should have had reasonable audibility so CAEP responses were expected for at least 2/3 stimuli bilaterally. Present (for at least 2/3 responses bilaterally) 3 subjects Absent (for at least 2/3 responses bilaterally) 2 subjects Will these ones demonstrate good speech discrimination long term? CAEPs were absent for at least 2/3 stimuli so CAEPs guided appropriate recommendation to review fitting & management. Will these ones demonstrate poor speech discrimination long term? 1 abnormal PEACH at 2 years & 1 normal PEACH at 12 mths but under review 1 normal PEACH 1 no concerns regarding auditory behavior 1 unknown. 1 abnormal PEACH 1 inconsistent functional audibility results (normal PEACH at 7 mths but abnormal IT-MAIS at 13 mths) NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

Present (for at least 2/3 responses bilaterally) 0 subjects Absent (for at least 2/3 responses bilaterally) 1 subjects CAEPs were absent for all stimuli tested bilaterally so CAEPs prompted appropriate recommendation to review fitting & management.

What we currently understand & are building on Future Directions We plan to follow these babies up so we can perform more detailed assessments on speech discrimination ability in quiet and noise. These results will be compared to both their CAEP and ECochG responses to see if predictive patterns can be seen. Present CAEPs are present for at least 2 out of 3 speech stimuli. Continue with current management & continue to monitor closely Absent CAEPs are absent for at least 2 out of 3 speech stimuli. Current management path should be reviewed immediately. Consider gain adjustments and/or potential problems with speech discrimination even when sounds are audible. I SEE! NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

creating sound value TM Conclusions 1.Predict audibility of speech sounds - is 4FA on PTA: <80 dBHL (hearing aid range) >80 dBHL (cochlear implant range) 2. Predict whether auditory function is significantly affected (with the view to look at speech discrimination ability in the future) 1.For the 8 subjects whose audibility of the speech stimuli was <=25 dB (either under-fitted or outside of the aidable range): all showed no CAEP response for at least 2/3 stimuli? 2.For the 6 subjects whose audibility of the speech stimuli was >25 dB: 3 subjects showed present CAEP responses for at least 2/3 stimuli. 3 subjects showed absent CAEP responses to at least 2/3 stimuli. Preliminary signs of good auditory functional ability Preliminary signs of poor auditory functional ability Preliminary signs of poor/inconsistent auditory functional ability OVERALL: Combining CAEPs with PEACH/IT-MAIS may help to highlight those who need to have their audiological & intervention management reviewed ASAP.
