Résumé : | The condition of the auditory nerve is a factor determining hearing performance of cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Abnormal loudness adaptation is associated with poor auditory nerve survival. We examined which stimulus conditions are suitable for tone decay measurements to differentiate between CI recipients with respect to their speech perception. Tone decay was defined here as occurring when the percept disappears before the stimulus stops. We measured the duration of the percept of a 60-s pulse train. Current levels ranged from below threshold up to maximum acceptable loudness, pulse rates from 250 to 5000 pulses/s, and duty cycles (percentages of time the burst of pulses is on) from 10% to 100%. Ten adult CI recipients were included: seven with good and three with poor speech perception. Largest differences among the subjects were found at 5000 pulses/s and 100% duty cycle. The well performing subjects had a continuous percept of the 60-s stimulus within 3 dB above threshold. Two poorly performing subjects showed abnormal loudness adaptation, that is, no continuous percept even at levels greater than 6 dB above threshold. We conclude that abnormal loudness adaptation can be detected via an electric tone decay test using a high pulse rate and 100% duty cycle. |
