Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a hearing disorder which characterized with normal outer hair cell function but disrupted neural synchrony in the afferent auditory pathway. CAPOS (cerebellar ataxia, areflexia, pes cavus, optic atrophy, and sensorineural hearing loss) syndrome can manifest itself with ANSD and this rare situation and...

Detecting hearing loss in the absence of any known organic disorders poses a challenge for audiologists. Compared with behavioral tests, electrophysiological and electroacoustic methods are considered to be more up to date and reliable for detecting false and exagerrated hearing loss (FEHL). Auditory steady state response (ASSR) test can be used t...

Background Music is a very important art form that can evoke strong emotions and involvement with it can have a considerable impact on cochlear implant (CI) recipients' quality of life. It is well known that music perception is limited in CI with fully electric hearing and CI recipients have significantly poorer music-appraisal ability when compare...

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine better- ear listening effect on spatial separation with the N1–P2 complex. Methods Twenty individuals with normal hearing participated in this study. The speech stimulus /ba/ was presented in front of the participant (0°). Continuous Speech Noise (5 dB signal-to-noise ratio) was presented either...

Objective: This longitudinal study aimed to investigate the maturational development of P1 latency and the effects of a short inter-implant delay in children who received bilateral sequential cochlear implants. Materials and methods: Fourteen children (first CI mean age: 1.4 ± 0.4 years and Second CI mean age: 3.3 ± 0.5 years) who had received seq...

Kompleks işitsel beyin sapı cevabı, P1-N1-P2 kompleksi, akustik değişim kompleksi, eşleşmeyen negativite ve P3 cevabı gibi konuşmayla uyarılmış işitsel potansiyeller, odyologlara, bireylerin, özellikle işitme cihazı veya koklear implant kullanıcılarının, konuşma işlemlemesi hakkında önemli bilgiler verir. Konuşma sesinin beyinsapı/ kortikal düzeyde...

Objective: To evaluate the spectral resolution achieved with a cochlear implant in users who were implanted using round window route electrode insertion versus a traditional cochleostomy technique. Methods: Twenty-six patients were classified into two groups according to the surgical approach: one group (n = 13) underwent cochlear implantation via...

The purpose of this study is the review of the self-report questionnaires that adapted into the Turkish language in Audiology. We report on the translation processes and psychometric functions of the twenty-three adapted questionnaires that published as a thesis or a research article between 2003 and 2019 in the audiology field. We concluded that T...

Serebral palsi çocukluk çağının en yaygın görülen motor fonksiyon kaybı bozukluğudur ve ek olarak işitsel, duyusal, zihinsel, görsel problemlerle ilişkilidir. Serebral palsideki motor bozukluklara çoğunlukla; duyusal ve algısal problemler, kognitif bozukluklar, iletişimsel ve davranışsal problemler eşlik eder. Ortaya çıkan ek problemlerin en kısa s...

Unilateral auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (U-ANSD) is characterized by abnormal audiological findings such as abnormal or absent auditory brainstem response with normal otoacoustic emissions in one ear. Some cases with U-ANSD might have cochlear nerve agenesis or dysplasia. In this case report, we represent a case with U-ANSD and cochlear ag...

Main purpose of this study was to obtain standardization in the clinical use of ESRT, NRT and T Level in cochlear implant users. The relationship between ESRT, NRT and T Level was examined, as were the affects of stimulation parameters (pulse width, rate) in these measurements. The study was comprised of 54 users, aged from 7 to 71 years. Participa...
