The research described in this talk was funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (#C7054R, #01807, #C775I) and Phonak, who provided study equipment. The views expressed in this presentation represent the personal opinions of the authors, however, and should not be taken as official position or policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs or Department of Defense.
6 Blast Exposure and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) One of the most common effects of blast exposure is mild TBI, also known as concussion.
7 Blast Exposure and TBI Injury from blasts can result from exposure to a blast wave without an official diagnosis of traumatic brain injury. Other times blast injury can occur along with TBI.
8 Blast Exposure and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) The exact number of blast exposed Veterans is unknown. Using the number of those diagnosed with TBI, however, begins to suggest the scope of the problem.
9 768,744 recently returned Veterans screened for possible TBI * 154,128 (20.1%) screened positive for TBI 144,787 seen for follow-up 62,545 of those seen were confirmed with TBI Estimated prevalence of TBI in the OEF/OIF Veteran population: 8.13%. More than 1.5 million U.S. military personnel have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001 Over 100,000 Veterans can be estimated to have suffered traumatic brain injury in the line of duty * as of August 31, 2013, Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Patient Care Services, Office of Rehabilitation Services. TBI Comprehensive Evaluation Summary Report. September 2013.
10 Relevance Outside of VA ~50% of returning Veterans seek healthcare outside the VA system More than half of returning Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans report multiple blast exposures

12 Common Subjective Complaints of Blast Exposed Veterans I can t follow a conversation in a crowded room. I have difficulty with focus and concentration. Sometimes I get frustrated when people talk too fast or mumble. My hearing problem impacts both my work and family relationships.

22 Conclusions Evidence suggests that blast exposed individuals are at risk for impaired performance on auditory processing tests. The patterns observed are more consistent with central than peripheral dysfunction. One important question unanswered by these data are whether these patterns resolve, persist, or worsen over time.

27 Gaps in Noise (GIN) (Musiek, et al, 2005) Six-second long segments of white noise, each with 0 to 3 silent intervals (gaps). Respond with button press to each gap. Gap durations range from 2-20 milliseconds and are pseudo-randomized throughout the test items and their location in the noise segment. Each ear tested separately. Score reflects gap duration (in ms) at which gaps can be accurately detected Assesses temporal resolution. Sensitive to lesions of cortex and corpus callosum.

30 Staggered Spondaic Word Test (SSW) (Arnst 1982) Each test item is made up of two spondees, which are two-syllable compound words such as cupcake. One spondee is presented to each ear.» Two syllables are presented in silence ( non-competing ).» Two syllables are presented simultaneously ( competing ). Subjects repeat the words in the order presented. Score reflects the total number of words correctly identified, out of 40 trials, each with four words. Sensitive to lesions of the corpus callosum

43 Conclusions These data, while still preliminary, suggest that the difficulties observed in the first study persist over time and may even worsen with aging. Current approaches to treatment of traumatic brain injury largely ignore the potential impairments of auditory processing. There is clearly a need for additional research into the best ways to characterize, diagnose, and provide rehabilitation for those exposed to highintensity blasts.
44 I am a research audiologist working at the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR). I m currently working on studies looking at the effects of blast injury on combat veterans. Outside my career my greatest interests are science, fly fishing, cross-fit, the New England Patriots and my dog, Brady. My greatest fears are snakes and talking in front of large audiences. Then why on Earth am I here? I am passionate about helping veterans And my boss made me do it!

57 So what s next for this population of new veterans? Most vets are sent to audiology for a routine hearing test and many have normal audiograms which suggests normal peripheral hearing function. In these instances many individuals feel like their subjective complaints are not validated. So it is our mission to explore beyond the cochlea.
58 Our Mission at NCRAR Our Veterans fought for us. It s our responsibility as professionals and human beings to fight for them by providing them the validation and services they need and deserve!
