2 R R Regional cerebral blood flow (rcbf) increase in temporal voice brain area (TVA) is linked to the intelligibility score L Voice versus Non-voice comparison R L Controls R CI (i>80%) L CI (i<20%) (Coez et al., J Nucl Med. 2008; 49:60-7)

3 A selective human Temporal Voice Area (TVA) Passive listening to sounds No active participation No specific language knowledges First step of intelligibility (Samson Y et al., Rev Neurol,2001;157:837-46, Zatorre RJ et al., trendscognsci, 2002; 6:37-46) L NON VOICE VOICE L R fmri Belin P et al, Nature, 2000; 403: in bilateral regions of the superior temporal sulcus (STS).

4 Monaural or binaural CI stimulation: a same pattern of activation? (Voice + Non-Voice) versus silence B R L Bilateral Stimulation R B L Controls versus bilateral CI R Unilateral Stimulation P<0.001 Controls versus unilateral CI Coez et al, 2011, 2014

5 Evaluation of cochlear implant + contralateral hearing aid - Patients group (n=12) Bilateral Stimulation 12Patients * 4 acquisitions Right CI Stimulation 8 patients * 4 acquisitions Left CI Stimulation 4 Patients * 4 acquisitions PET (H 2 O 15 ), measure of rcbf increase 3 passive conditions : Voice, Non-Voice, Silence 4 acquisitions per condition (voice, non voice): 2 with bilateral stimulation, 2 with unilateral stimulation 2 acquisitions in silence Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM8), p<0,001 Intelligibility score (IS) 91%[±9] 75% [±16] 71% [±17] - Controls group (n=6+6) 100%

6 Temporal voice area activation (voice versus non voice) rcbf increase in TVA is linked to the intelligibility score Binaural hearing (HA +IC) L R Monaural hearing (IC) Figure 6: Areas activated by voice stimuli compared to non voice stimuli in each listening condition: binaural, monaural (p<0,0005, k>31).

17 Conclusion The rcbf response in the TVA paralleled the subject intelligibility score Bilateral stimulation in deafness rehabilitation allowed bilateral rcbf increases similar to controls Unilateral stimulation lead to temporal rcbf increases especially in contralateral temporal regions Synergistic effects of sound information from both sides Auditory thresholds : + 6 db Sound localisation: Inter-aural level difference (ILD) PET TVA activations studies are a good forecasting tools to compare devices effectiveness (evidence based medicine) and to evaluate benefits of future devices developments.
