The Perception of Stress Pattern in Young Cochlear Implanted Children: An EEG Study

Vavatzanidis, Niki K., Mürbe, Dirk, Friederici, Angela D., Hahne, Anja 08 June 2016 (has links)
Children with sensorineural hearing loss may (re)gain hearing with a cochlear implant—a device that transforms sounds into electric pulses and bypasses the dysfunctioning inner ear by stimulating the auditory nerve directly with an electrode array. Many implanted children master the acquisition of spoken language successfully, yet we still have little knowledge of the actual input they receive with the implant and specifically which language sensitive cues they hear. This would be important however, both for understanding the flexibility of the auditory system when presented with stimuli after a (life-) long phase of deprivation and for planning therapeutic intervention. In rhythmic languages the general stress pattern conveys important information about word boundaries. Infant language acquisition relies on such cues and can be severely hampered when this information is missing, as seen for dyslexic children and children with specific language impairment. Here we ask whether children with a cochlear implant perceive differences in stress patterns during their language acquisition phase and if they do, whether it is present directly following implant stimulation or if and how much time is needed for the auditory system to adapt to the new sensory modality. We performed a longitudinal ERP study, testing in bimonthly intervals the stress pattern perception of 17 young hearing impaired children (age range: 9–50 months; mean: 22 months) during their first 6 months of implant use. An additional session before the implantation served as control baseline. During a session they passively listened to an oddball paradigm featuring the disyllable “baba,” which was stressed either on the first or second syllable (trochaic vs. iambic stress pattern). A group of age-matched normal hearing children participated as controls. Our results show, that within the first 6 months of implant use the implanted children develop a negative mismatch response for iambic but not for trochaic deviants, thus showing the same result as the normal hearing controls. Even congenitally deaf children show the same developing pattern. We therefore conclude (a) that young implanted children have early access to stress pattern information and (b) that they develop ERP responses similar to those of normal hearing children.

Avaliação do trauma intracoclear causado pela inserção do feixe de eletrodos do implante coclear via janela redonda em ossos temporais / Assessment of intracochlear trauma caused by insertion of cochlear implant electrode array via round window in temporal bones

Martins, Graziela de Souza Queiroz 12 May 2014 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: A ampliação dos critérios de indicação para cirurgia do implante coclear e os benefícios da preservação da audição residual no pósoperatório estimularam o desenvolvimento de técnicas cirúrgicas atraumáticas. Minimizar os traumas intracocleares durante a inserção do feixe de eletrodos do implante coclear é um passo fundamental para este intuito. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar se o trauma intracoclear é diferente quando o feixe de eletrodos do implante coclear é inserido através do quadrante anterossuperior ou anteroinferior da membrana da janela redonda. MÉTODOS: Vinte e cinco ossos temporais frescos de cadáveres humanos foram submetidos à timpanomastoidectomia padrão. Após exposição adequada da membrana da janela redonda, em metade dos ossos o feixe de eletrodos do implante coclear foi inserido via quadrante anterossuperior da membrana da janela redonda, e na outra metade via quadrante anteroinferior. Os ossos temporais foram desidratados e embebidos em epóxi, com o feixe de eletrodos in situ. As peças foram serialmente polidas, tingidas e visualizadas por meio de estereomicroscópio para avaliar o trauma intracoclear causado pela inserção do feixe de eletrodos. As imagens foram fotografadas. RESULTADOS: Em treze ossos temporais o feixe de eletrodos do implante coclear foi inserido via quadrante anterossuperior da membrana da janela redonda, e em doze ossos via quadrante anteroinferior. Obteve-se 372 superfícies. As análises histológicas revelaram diferentes graus de traumas às estruturas intracocleares. Os resultados mostraram que a inserção do feixe de eletrodos via quadrante anterossuperior ou anteroinferior acarretam a mesma frequência de trauma intracoclear. CONCLUSÕES: A presença de trauma intracoclear e a severidade dos traumas ocorridos no tocante à inserção do feixe de eletrodos de implante coclear pelo quadrante anterossuperior e anteroinferior da membrana da janela redonda não apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa. Observou-se, porém, maior facilidade para exposição cirúrgica do quadrante anterossuperior em relação ao quadrante anteroinferior / INTRODUCTION: The expansion of the indication criteria for cochlear implant surgery and the benefits of preserving residual hearing postoperatively have stimulated the development of atraumatic surgeries. Minimizing the intracochlear traumas during the electrodes insertion is a critical step for this aim. The objective of this study is to assess whether there is a difference in intracochlear trauma when the cochlear implant electrode array is inserted through the anterior-superior or anterior-inferior quadrants of the round window membrane. METHODS: Twenty-five fresh human temporal bones were submitted to standard tympanomastoidectomy. After adequate exposure of the round window membrane, in half of the bones the cochlear implant electrode array was inserted via anterior-superior quadrant of round window membrane and in the other half via anterior-inferior quadrant. The temporal bones were dehydrated and embedded in epoxy with the electrodes array in situ. The specimens were serially polished, stained and viewed through a stereomicroscope to assess the intracochlear trauma caused by insertion of the electrode array. Resulting images were documented. RESULTS: In thirteen temporal bones the cochlear implant electrode array was inserted via anterior-superior quadrant of round window membrane and in twelve bones via anterior-inferior quadrant. Three hundred and seventy two surfaces were obtained. Histological examinations revealed varying degrees of damage to the intracohlear structures. The results showed that the insertion of the electrode array via anterior-superior or anterior-inferior quadrant lead to the same frequency of intracochlear trauma. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of intracochlear trauma and severity of traumas regarding the insertion of cochlear implant electrode array via anterior-superior and via anterior-inferior quadrant of the round window membrane showed no statistically significant difference. However, it was observed that surgical exposure of anterior-superior quadrant was easier than surgical exposure of anterior-inferior quadrant

"Emissões otoacústicas produto de distorção em recém-nascidos medicados com ototóxicos" / Distortion product otoacoustic emission in newborn exposed to ototoxic

Marone, Marisa Ruggieri 22 June 2006 (has links)
INTRODUÇÃO: Os aminoglicosídeos são freqüentemente usados no berçário e podem ser tóxicos para as células ciliadas cócleo-vestibulares, especialmente para as células ciliadas externas da base da cóclea. As emissões ototacústicas produto de distorção permitem avaliar porções específicas da cóclea, antes mesmo que a sensação auditiva seja alterada, sendo ideais para análise precoce da integridade dessa estrutura auditiva, além de ser indicada para recém-nascidos por serem objetivas. O objetivo deste estudo prospectivo longitudinal é pesquisar a amplitude das emissões otoacústicas produto de distorção, causadas pelo uso de drogas ototóxicas, entre o término da administração e de 15 a 40 dias após seu uso. MÉTODOS: A população foi de recém-nascidos a termo e pré-termo provenientes de berçário e maternidade de um hospital público em Santo André, no período de julho de 2003 a setembro de 2004. A primeira avaliação ocorreu no dia da alta hospitalar. Foram avaliados três grupos: grupo controle com 33 recém-nascidos saudáveis e de termo; grupo de estudo a termo exposto a amicacina e /ou vancomicina com 19 recém-nascidos com mais de 37 semanas e grupo de estudo pré-termo exposto aos mesmos ototóxicos, com 15 recém-nascidos de 32 a 37 semanas. Os recém-nascidos não apresentavam indicadores de risco para deficiência auditiva preconizados pelo JCIH,2000 concomitante à infecção neonatal. Todos os recém-nascidos foram avaliados com idade gestacional corrigida maior que 37 semanas. As amplitudes das emissões otoacústicas dos recém-nascidos em fase de alta hospitalar foram comparadas às obtidas de 15 a 40 dias após a alta. RESULTADOS: As amplitudes das emissões otoacústicas dos recém-nascidos do grupo de estudo pré-termo foram menores que as amplitudes do grupo controle e do grupo de estudo a termo nos dois momentos de teste. As amplitudes das emissões dos recém-nascidos dos três grupos aumentaram no segundo momento de teste. As amplitudes das emissões dos recém-nascidos foram maiores na freqüência de 6.000 Hz e na orelha direita para a freqüência f2 3.000 Hz. As amplitude das emissões do grupo controle no segundo momento de teste foram semelhantes as do grupo de estudo à termo no primeiro momento da pesquisa. CONCLUSÔES: Houve aumento da amplitude das emissões otoacústicas produto de distorção desde a fase de alta até 15 a 40 dias após. A exposição a amicacina e vancomicina nas doses preconizadas pelo Neofax®, 2003/2004 não alterou as amplitudes das emissões nos recém-nascidos sem indicadores de risco concomitante à infecção neonatal. / The amynoglicosides are frequently used in nurseries and may be toxic for the cochleo-vestibular hair cells, specially for the outer cells of the cochlear base. The distortion product otoacoustic emissions allow to evaluate specific portions of the cochlea even before the hearing sensation is altered, and are ideal for the early analysis of this auditory structure integrity, besides being indicated for newborns once they are objective. The aim of this prospective longitudinal study is to research the amplitude of distortion product otoacoustic emissions caused by the ototoxic drugs use, between the end of the administration and from 15 to 40 days after its use. The population studied was composed by term and preterm newborns from a nursery and maternity of a Santo André city hospital, in the period from July 2003 to September 2004. The first evaluation occurred on the hospital discharge day. Three groups were evaluated: control group with 33 term and healthy newborns; term study group with 19 term newborns with more than 37 weeks exposed to amicacin and/or vancomycin; and preterm study group with 15 preterm newborns from 32 to 37 weeks exposed to the same ototoxic. The newborns did not present risk factors for hearing loss according to the JCIH, 2000 concomitant to the neonatal infection. All newborns were evaluated at a corrected gestational age greater than 37 weeks. The otoacoustic emissions amplitudes obtained at the hospital discharge were compared to the ones obtained from 15 to 40 days after the discharge. The results showed that the otoacoustic emissions amplitudes of the preterm study group were smaller than the amplitudes of the control group and the term study group in both moments of the test. The amplitude of the newborns’ otoacoustic emissions increased in the second moment of the test. The amplitudes were higher in the frequency of 6.000Hz and, in the right ear in the frequency f2 3.000 Hz. The otoacoustic emissions amplitudes of the control group in the second moment of the test were similar to the term study group in the first moment of the research. It was concluded that there is an increase of the distortion product otoacoustic emissions amplitude from the discharge moment until 15 to 40 days after, suggesting a maturation of the cochlear structures in the post-natal period, and that the exposure to amicacin and vancomycin on the recommended dose by Neofax®, 2003/2004 did not alter the amplitude of the emissions in the newborns without risk indicators concomitant with neonatal infection.
