Slide 3-

Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI) Effective partial hearing restoration in patients with NF2 Most common indication for ABI is NF2 In US, criteria is for postlingual NF2 patients 12 yrs or older First or second side vestibular schwannoma removal
Slide 4-

ABI in Non-NF2 Patients Patients who have failed CI Loss of 8th CN integrity 2/2 skull base fx, traumatic avulsion Severe post-meningitic cochlear ossification Possible in cochlear dysplasia or cochlear nerve aplasia Hearing outcomes SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER than in NF2 patients

Slide 6-

ABI Benefits Limited to environmental sound perception and aid to lip reading Rarely, open set speech understanding Definitely POORER hearing than with cochlear implant
Slide 7-

Current ABI 21-electrode array Stimulated similar to a cochlear implant Transcutaneous radiofrequency transmitter and receiver
Slide 8-

Timing of ABI Placement Usually placed at time of 2nd vestibular schwannoma removal Can place at time of first side tumor removal (“sleeper”) Second stage procedure after previous vestibular schwannoma surgery Advantages/Disadvantages
Slide 9-

Surgical Approach Translabyrinthine Favored by most surgeons for ABI placement in NF2 patients More lateral view of brainstem Cerebellar retraction reduced or avoided Retrosigmoid

Slide 13-

Auditory Performance Useful auditory perception Hearing level much less compared to CI Loss of peripheral tonotopic stimulation Improvement in auditory sensation Rare significant open set speech understanding (telephone use)
Slide 14-

Penetrating Auditory Brainstem Implant Two generations (combo of penetrating and surface arrays) Electode inserted into cochlear nucleus Outcomes are not better than surface electrode ABI
Slide 15-

Penetrating Auditory Midbrain Implant Stimulate auditory midbrain proximal to damaged cochlear nucleus Dorsal surface of inferior colliculus Penetrating electrode array Access tonotopic orientation of inferior colliculus
Slide 16-

Complications Cerebrospinal fluid fistula through the wound and risk of infx in presence of ABI Possible hydrocephalus Displacement of electrode array Nonauditory/somatic sensations Ipsilateral facial tingling/throat discomfort
Slide 17-

TAKE HOME POINTS 1. Effective method of partial hearing restoration in patients with NF2 2. Provides environmental sound awareness 3. Open set speech perception achieved only rarely. 4. Trials of penetrating ABI and AMI have not shown improved hearing 5. Better speech perception in patients w/o NF2

Hearing Aids: Strategies of Amplification Chp. 162 Irene Kim
Slide 20-

General HA predominantly for: SNHL with flat or sloping hearing loss Patient is candidate for HA depending on: 1. Degree of hearing loss 2. Extent of communication disorder resulting from loss 3. Motivation of patient/attitude towards hearing aid use
Slide 21-

Hearing Aid Technology Component miniaturization Programmability Wireless connectivity Permits communication from one hearing aid to another From hearing aids to other electronic devices and signal sources FM radio, phones, computers
Slide 22-

Hearing Aid Microphone, amplifier, receiver Microphone: converts acoustic energy into electric energy Amplifier: adds gain to level of electric signal Receiver: receives amplified electric signal and converts it back to acoustic energy Telecoil or t-coil Allows HA to receive electromagnetic signals directly, bypassing microphone Classroom setting
Slide 23-

Electroacoustic Characteristics Frequency gain Input-output Linear Non-linear Output limiting
Slide 24-

Nonlinear Amplification Designed to address major problem with SNHL Reduced dynamic range Normal hearing: Range is 0 to 100 dB Patient w/ SNHL: Range is reduced Compression circuitry Peak clipping
Slide 25-

Hearing Aid Features Directionality Directional microphone Noise reduction Feedback reduction Program management Automatic adaptivity Data logging
Slide 26-

Hearing Aid Styles Behind-the-ear (BTE) Microphone and amplifier behind the ear Receiver may be in the canal or behind ear Potential for feedback lowest In-the-ear (ITE) In-the-canal (ITC) Completely-in-canal (CIC) Reduction of wind nose, ease of phone/stethoscope use
Slide 27-

Hearing Assistive Technology Assistive listening devices (ALDs) Personal amplifiers, FM systems Enhances acoustic signal over background noise Uses remote microphone Closed captioning of TV shows
Slide 28-

HA Fitting Fitting Verification (objective measurements) Real-ear unaided response or gain (REUR/G) Real aided response or gain (REAR/G) REAG-REUG = real insertion gain (REIG)
Slide 29-

Outcome Measurement Self-assessment scales Assessment by spouses Hearing Handicap Inventory for Elderly (HHIE) Other Quality of Life measures
Slide 30-

Hearing Aids in Children Always fitted w/ binaural hearing aids Children grow quickly; hearing aids often adjusted Usually BTE Maximize audibility Can remake ear mold of BTE as ear canal grows
