22 COMPLEX AUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSE (cabr) Reflects phase-locked activity in rostral brainstem Complex ABR: (1) Transient component (2) Steady-state component Frequencyfollowing Response (FFR) Stimulus Response (cabr)

23 COMPLEX AUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSE (cabr) Reflects phase-locked activity in rostral brainstem Complex ABR The FFR: Represents signal periodicity up to about 1500 Hz (Skoe & Kraus, 2012). Major generators in IC Subcortical cooling of IC dramatically reduces amplitude of FFR signal in cats (Smith et al., 1978; 1975). Stimulus Response (cabr)

29 INTERIM SUMMARY Listening can no longer be accurately modeled as a purely passive sensory process Ascending (bottom-up) and descending (top-down) projections work in dynamic loops to modulate input of auditory information. cabr/ffr represents subcortical activity (at IC) that is sensitive to topdown modulation. Ability to modulate subcortical signal appears related to speech-in-noise performance (HINT).

59 FINAL SUMMARY Peripheral hearing loss might lead to changes in top-down modulation that increase representation of temporal envelope especially in noise and might require greater listening effort (i.e. augmented N1). Concurrent measurement of subcortical and cortical AEPs can elucidate how brain regions interact during different listening situations. Such approaches might help us to better characterize how hearing loss affects different individuals and to develop interventions and corrective amplification appropriately tailored to the needs of the patient. Auditory training might be particularly useful in re-establishing efficient processing at subcortical and cortical structures.
