ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses provide reliable clinical information to assist professionals in the auditory rehabilitation of cochlear implant users.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate intraoperative evoked auditory brainstem response recordings in Evo®-cochlear implant electrode array recipients and its correlation with their behavioral levels and auditory performance.

METHODS: This is a retrospectivey study. Intraoperative evoked auditory brainstem responses were recorded in adult Evo®-cochlear implant electrode array recipients. Wave V latencies, amplitudes and interpeak III-V intervals were recorded in three different electrode locations and compared to the sentence recognition scores obtained from subjects after six months of device use. Evoked auditory brainstem responses thresholds were also recorded and compared to the behaviorally determined levels of the subjects in the sound processor activation.

RESULTS: Evoked auditory brainstem responses thresholds were significantly correlated with both, behavioral T- and C-levels and they were recorded at audible electrical stimulation levels in all subjects. There was a significant correlation between interpeak III-V interval recorded in the apical electrode and sentence recognition scores of the subjects.

CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative evoked auditory brainstem responses can be used to establish audible levels for fitting the sound processor in Evo®-cochlear implant recipients and it could help professionals to plan further actions aiming to improve their auditory performance.
