  • Posamičen vpliv trajanja gluhosti in starosti bolnika na pražne vrednosti električne avdiometrije = Individual influences of duration of deafness and patient age on threshold values in electroaudiometry
    Battelino, Saba ; Žargi, Miha, 1946-
    In electroaudiometry, electric impulses are sent into the inner ear through anelectrode placed in the external ear canal, and the auditory sensations perceived by the examinees are registered. ... Electroaudiometry was performed in 59 deaf patients. The aim of the procedure is to determine the voltage of electric current needed to evoke auditory sensation in the patients. The statistic method of linear regression was used to evaluate the correlation between voltage of the measured currents and duration of hearing loss and patient age. The calculated Bduration=-0.19 was not statistically significant (p=0.532). The coefficient of correlation for patient age was Bage=0.769 (p < 0.001). Electroaudiometry provides valuable information on functioning of the residual auditory pathway. It also confirms the functioning of a never workinghearing pathway in deaf born patients. The duration of hearing loss does not influence the preservation of auditory pathway function as assessableby electroaudiometry. The aging processes of the auditory pathway can also be seen. Electroaudiometry is only one in the battery of investigations to be performed in cochlear implants candidates that are suitable for predicting the auditory pathway status in deaf patients over the age of 3.5 years who are able to cooperate during the procedure.
