The interaction of stimulus rate and polarity effects on the auditory brainstem responseZiegler, Michelle Ann Nielsen 01 January 1989 (has links)
Research on the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) has been dominated by attempts to develop techniques to enhance the clarity of the ABR waveform and to define the parameters that separate normal from abnormal responses. While the effects of stimulus rate are clearly documented, the effects of stimulus polarity on the ABR are not. There may be an interaction of polarity and rate which accounts for the inconsistent results reported in the literature.
This study examined the effect of stimulus rate and polarity for waves I, III, and V, on the ABR latency, amplitude, and amplitude ratio. Rarefaction and condensation clicks were delivered at rates of 11.l; 21.1, 41.1, and 81.1 clicks per second. Fourteen male subjects were used, each having normal hearing thresholds and normal middle ear function.

Output of compression hearing aids with transient and continuous input stimuliGregory, Carol Ann 01 January 1991 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the compression circuit of a hearing aid could be activated by a high frequency biasing tone such that its output for a transient stimulus could be made to approximate that of a continuous tone alone. Sufficient compression activation by a transient stimulus would mean that this type of hearing aid could be used in obtaining aided ABR measurements, since transient stimuli are commonly used for this procedure. Four hearing aids were used, and transient or continuous stimuli were introduced either alone or in combination with an 8 or 10 kHz biasing tone. The biasing tone was either held at one constant level or varied in intensity along with the transient or continuous signal.

A utilização da resposta auditiva de estado estável para estimar limiares auditivos em indivíduos com perda auditiva neurossensorial / Utilization of auditory steady state response to estimate the auditory threshold in individuals with sensorineural hearing lossDuarte, Josilene Luciene 26 March 2007 (has links)
O diagnóstico precoce da perda auditiva tem sido cada vez mais freqüente em virtude dos programas de saúde auditiva que estão sendo implantados em todo o país. Existe, contudo, a necessidade de técnicas e procedimentos que ajudem a identificar, com maior precisão, a presença e o grau da mesma. A Resposta Auditiva de Estado Estável (RAEE) é um procedimento eletrofisiológico que, ao contrário do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Tronco Encefálico (PEATE) realizado com estímulo tone burst, possibilita avaliar, ao mesmo tempo limiares auditivos com especificidade por freqüência e por orelha, reduzindo assim o tempo do exame. Além disso, ele permite a estimulação até níveis próximos a 130 dBHL, podendo assim medir a audição residual. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a aplicabilidade da RAEE para determinar os limiares auditivos nos diferentes graus de perda auditiva neurossensorial. Foram avaliados 65 indivíduos com perda auditiva neurossensorial, sendo que 48 apresentaram alteração neurossensorial (coclear) de grau leve até profundo, e idades entre sete e 30 anos; e 17 apresentaram alteração neurossensorial (Neuropatia Auditiva/Dessincronia Auditiva) e idades entre 0,6 e cinco anos. A avaliação foi composta por Audiometria Tonal Liminar (ATL) e pesquisa da RAEE para o grupo com alteração neurossensorial (coclear) e somente a pesquisa da RAEE para o grupo com alteração neurossensorial (NA/DA). Os resultados demonstraram que, nos indivíduos com perda auditiva neurossensorial (coclear), houve associação significante (p<0,01) entre os limiares obtidos na ATL e RAEE para as freqüências de 0,5 a 4 kHz, ocorrendo uma maior concordância para graus de deficiências auditivas mais acentuadas. Já na perda auditiva neurossensorial (NA/DA), a RAEE mostrou ausência de resposta na maioria dos indivíduos avaliados. Concluímos que a RAEE pode predizer os limiares da ATL com maior precisão para os graus de perda auditiva mais acentuados, e que a utilização deste procedimento não mostrou informações adicionais que podem contribuir para o diagnóstico da perda auditiva neurossensorial (NA/DA). / The diagnosis of hearing loss in the first months of life has been increasingly frequent due to hearing health programs established throughout the country. Thus, techniques and procedures should be developed for accurate identification of the presence and severity of hearing loss, in a population whose motor and cognitive development does not allow response to behavioral methods. The auditory steady state response (ASSR) is an electrophysiological procedure which, different from the brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) conducted with tone burst stimuli, allows the establishment of hearing thresholds at multiple frequencies and for both ears, thus reducing the examination time. Moreover, it allows measurement of residual hearing due to the possibility of stimulation at levels close to 130 dBHL. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the applicability of ASSR for establishment of hearing thresholds in different severities of sensorineural hearing loss. A total of 65 individuals with sensorineural hearing loss were evaluated, among whom 48 presented mild to deep sensorineural disorder (cochlear), at the age range 7 to 30 years; and 17 presented sensorineural disorder (neuropathy/hearing dyssynchrony) aged 0.6 to 5 years. The evaluation comprised pure-tone threshold audiometry (PTTA) and ASSR analysis for the group with deep sensorineural disorder (cochlear) and only ASSR analysis for the group with sensorineural disorder (neuropathy/hearing dyssynchrony). The results demonstrated that, for individuals with deep sensorineural hearing loss (cochlear), there was significant association (p<0.01) between the thresholds obtained by PTTA and ASSR at frequencies from 0.5 to 4 kHz, with higher agreement in cases with more severe hearing loss. On the other hand, for the sensorineural hearing loss (neuropathy/hearing dyssynchrony), the ASSR was absent in most individuals analyzed. It was concluded that there is significant association between the thresholds obtained by PTTA and ASSR, and that the utilization of this procedure did not provide additional information that might contribute to the diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss (neuropathy/hearing dyssynchrony), when compared to BERA

CONDIÇÃO AUDITIVA DE FREQUENTADORES DE GRUPOS DE APOIO A EXUSUÁRIOS DE DROGAS / HEARING CONDITION OF GOERS OF SUPPORT GROUPS FOR FORMER DRUG USERSWeich, Tainara Milbradt 05 March 2012 (has links)
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research aims to verify the hearing condition of goers of support groups for
former drug users. It was evaluated 17 individuals, all former drug users, being
marijuana, crack and cocaine the most used drugs. The individuals were divided into
two groups according to the kind of the most commonly used drug: Group 1 (G1) -
10 former users of marijuana, Group 2 (G2) - Seven former users of crack/cocaine.
For the results analysis, they were also subdivided according to the time of drug use:
one to five years, six to 10 years and more than 15 years. The subjects were
submitted to anamnesis, pure tone audiometry (PTA), acoustic impedance
measurements, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), suppressive effect
of TEOAE and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA). By comparing the
results of PTA of the G1 and G2 with one to five years of drug use, G2 presented
pure tone levels greater than 25 dB with a significant statistically difference in the
pure tone levels for the frequencies of 250, 500, 6000 and 8000 Hz in the right ear. In
the group of six to 10 years of drug use it was not found significant difference in pure
tone levels for frequencies of 4000 and 8000 Hz in the left ear, with worse pure tone
levels for the G2. For the group with more than 15 years of drug use, it was observed
pure tone levels above 25 dB for the frequencies from 3000 to 8000 Hz in the right
ear. In evaluations with TEOAE, TEOAE suppression effect and BERA, it was not
observed a difference in the results when they were compared according to the time
of drug use. G1 presented an average in the relation signal/noise of TEOAE greater
than the average in the G2, but without a significant statistically difference. The two
groups did not differ in the occurrence of suppressor effect of TEOAE and absolute
latency and inter-peak interval of BERA. It is emphasized that only five individuals
had adequate results for the age group in the BERA. As the time of drug use
increases, more changes were observed in the G1 results in PTA and BERA, but it
did not interfere in the results of the evaluations of the G2. The results suggest that
the use of drugs can cause peripheral and central hearing loss, and that the use of
crack/cocaine is more deleterious to the hearing that the use of marijuana. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a condição auditiva de
frequentadores de grupos de apoio a ex-usuários de drogas. Foram avaliados 17
indivíduos ex-usuários de drogas, estando entre as mais usadas a maconha, o crack
e a cocaína. Os indivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos, conforme o tipo de droga
mais consumida: Grupo 1 (G1) 10 ex-usuários de maconha; Grupo 2 (G2) sete
ex-usuários de crack/cocaína. Para a análise dos resultados, houve uma subdivisão
conforme o tempo de uso de drogas: um a cinco anos, seis a 10 anos e mais do que
15 anos. Os indivíduos foram submetidos à anamnese, audiometria tonal liminar
(ATL), medidas de imitância acústica, emissões otoacústicas transientes (EOAT),
efeito supressor das EOAT e potenciais evocados auditivos de tronco encefálico
(PEATE). Ao comparar os resultados da ATL do G1 e G2 com um a cinco anos de
uso de drogas, o G2 apresentou limiares tonais maiores que 25 dBNA com diferença
estatisticamente significante nos limiares tonais para as frequências de 250, 500,
6000 e 8000 Hz na orelha direita. No grupo de seis a 10 anos de uso de drogas
houve diferença estatisticamente significante nos limiares tonais para as frequências
de 4000 e 8000 Hz da orelha esquerda, com limiares piores para o G2. Para o grupo
com mais de 15 anos de uso de drogas, observou-se limiares tonais acima de 25
dBNA para as frequências de 3000 a 8000 Hz na orelha direita. Nas avaliações com
EOAT, efeito supressor das EOAT e PEATE não se observou diferença nos
resultados quando foram comparados conforme o tempo de uso de drogas. O G1
apresentou média da relação sinal/ruído das EOAT superior ao G2, porém sem
diferença estatisticamente significante. Os dois grupos não diferiram quanto à
ocorrência do efeito supressor das EOAT, bem como quanto às latências absolutas
e aos intervalos interpicos do PEATE. Ressalta-se que apenas cinco indivíduos
apresentaram resultados adequados para a faixa etária no PEATE. O tempo de uso
da droga exerceu influência nos resultados do G1 na ATL e PEATE; observou-se
que quanto maior o tempo, maiores as alterações. Porém, o tempo de uso não
interferiu nos resultados das avaliações do G2. Os resultados encontrados sugerem
que o uso de drogas pode provocar alterações auditivas periféricas e centrais, e que
o uso de crack/cocaína é mais deletério para a audição que o uso de maconha.
