  1. Evaluating speech detection in aided infants and estimating pure tone thresholds in unresponsive adults: Auditory-evoked cortical potentials Harvey Dillon, Bram Van Dun, Lyndal Carter, Kirsty Gardner-Berry HEARing CRC National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) ASA, Audiology Now! With thanks to John Seymour, Suzanne Purdy, Maryanne Golding www.hearingcrc.org NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  2. The need for a new measurement tool NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  3. Cochlear implant needed Confirmation of fitting Fine-tuning needed Evaluation of aided functioning in infants Universal new born screening Early fitting of hearing aids Need for an evaluation method NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  4. So baby, how does it sound? Objective hearing aid evaluation for: • young infants • difficult-to-test people NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  5. Why the rush?Language ability 6 months after implantation NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  6. Early intervention leads to better language development at 6 months after fitting (n=90) Significant effect of age of fitting: p = 0.001* NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  8. Why use cortical responses? NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  9. Why cortical responses to evaluate hearing aid fitting in infants? • Reliably present in awake young infants • More likely to correlate well with perception • Can be elicited by a range of speech phonemes – close to desired outcomes • Stimuli handled reasonably by hearing aids • Can be very frequency specific if needed NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  10. Cortical responses – Where from Development with age Typical waveforms Measuring infant cortical responses – video Research results Effect of auditory experience Cortical responses to different stimuli Automatic detection of cortical responses Sensation level, hearing loss, and noise Relationship to functional hearing ability Clinical applications Estimating hearing thresholds in adults – live demo Assessing speech audibility for infants Case studies Future possibilities Overview of Learning Lab NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  11. FUNDAMENTALS OF CORTICAL RESPONSES NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry

  12. Corpus callosum Plastic, e.g following cochlear ablation Cortex: Complex detection Perception Medial geniculate nucleus Thalamus: Auditory and visual map integrated, relayed to cortex SC: Visual spatial map IC: Form full spatial map, Parallel processing paths join, History dependent Lateral lemnisci VNLL: Fed by contralateral CN Sorting, comparing and categorizing MSO: Detect interaural time LSO: Detect interaural level AVCN: Frequency analysis, PVCN: Timing well preserved DCN: Inhibitory circuits, pinna cue detection? Parallel processing Needs to be fed to develop & maintain NAL: Dillon, Van Dun, Carter, Gardner-Berry
