BACKGROUND INFORMATION
• Starr et al. (1991) identified auditory neuropathy (AN) as a timing disorder
• Zeng et al. (1999) demonstrated temporal processing problems in adults with auditory neuropathy.
Auditory Nerve from AN subject with
HSMN due to Myelin protein zero mutation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
• Hearing relies on faithful synaptic transmission at the ribbon synapse of cochlear inner hair cells. These synaptic ribbons are essential for synchronous auditory signals.

Speech recognition is very dependant on the ability to make fine timing
discriminations in the speech signal which has small
temporal “gaps”

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
13
• Berlin et al. (2001), and Hood (2002) proposed auditory dys-synchrony as a more descriptive term. Typical findings include: – abnormal evoked potentials – otoacoustic emissions (usually present)
– absent middle ear reflexes – lack of benefit from amplification

17
In general, various physical, sensory or cognitive issues can be observed in addition to hearing loss and all of these will be educationally significant.
As these “issues” arise, there is an increase in the probability of auditory neuropathy / dys-synchrony as an additional problem.
18
• Developmental delays • Learning disabilities, ADD,
ADHD • Autism spectrum disorders • Emotional or behavioral
problems • Uncorrected visual problems,
blindness
19
• Other health impairment • Cerebral palsy, motor disorders • Apraxia • Inner ear malformations, Atretic
or absent auditory nerve • Seizures • Syndromes
20
The characteristics and co-morbidities of ANSD
• Hearing is usually abnormal in these children
• However they may exhibit good sound “detection”
• And very poor speech recognition in most cases
• But some will benefit from hearing aids
• …. And why ? Sound demonstration

A profound unilateral hearing loss can be caused by the
absence of an auditory nerve and cochlear function could be
normal in such cases.
Lessons Learned
28
• ALL children being considered for a cochlear implant should have MRI of the brain and auditory nerve cross section to visualize the 4 nerves within the internal auditory canal and verification of brain structures.
