Electrophysiological Characteristics and Parameter Optimization of Electrically Evoked Auditory Brainstem Responses after Cochlear Implantation
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different test parameters on the waveforms of electrically evoked auditory brainstem responses (EABR)
to select the optimized EABR test parameters after cochlear implantation
and to explore the relationship between EABR and behavioral test results after cochlear implantation.
Methods
2
The study included 17 Nurotron cochlear implant recipients. The characteristics of the EABR
such as the occurrence rate
threshold
and latency of wave V
were recorded and analyzed for stimulation at different electrode positions
pulse intervals
and alternating/non-alternating biphasic pulse currents. The correlation between EABR threshold and behavioral T and C values at different electrode positions was also analyzed.
Results
2
The threshold of EABR wave V at the apex of the cochlea (90.58±27.39 CU) was significantly lower than that at the middle turn (106.98±15.66 CU). The latency of wave V at the apex of the cochlea (4.47±0.357 ms) was significantly shorter than that at the middle turn (4.72±0.335 ms). The amplitude of the electrical artifact using alternating biphasic pulse current (9.40±12.35 μV) was significantly smaller than that using non-alternating pulse (19.49±15.12μV). The threshold of EABR at the apex of the cochlea was significantly correlated with the T value and C value of the behavioral test.
Conclusion
2
The stimulation electrode position and pulse current type both affect the waveforms of EABR. The apex stimulation is more likely to evoke the ideal EABR waveforms than the middle turn
and the use of alternating biphasic pulse current stimulation can effectively reduce the impact of electrical artifacts. The EABR threshold can provide a reference for the activation and mapping after cochlear implantation.
