2 EAS/Hybrid-Cochlear Implant

3 Electrc-acoustic interaction Gap (Old Implantation Criteria) Electrode Array Hair Cells Continuous (Current Implantation Criteria) Electrode Array Hair Cells Overlapping (Next Generation Implantation Criteria) Electrode Array Hair Cells

4 Electric-Acoustic Frequency Difference Krüger, Büchner, Nogueira, HearRes (2017, Under Review) 4

5 Results Results show increased threshold elevations with smaller distance between electric and acoustic stimulation mean threshold elevation of 9.38 %DR (or 2.02 db). Significant threshold elevation for acoustic masking condition (p <.001) using One-Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was observed Krüger, Büchner, Nogueira, HearRes (2017) (Under Review) Krüger, Büchner, Nogueira, HearRes (2017, Under Review)

6 Discussion I It is unknown how electric and acoustic hearing interact with each other How can EAS interaction be characterized/measured? Which interactions are foreseen between electric and acoustic stimulation? Can these interactions impact speech performance?

7 Speech Understanding with EAS People with relatively large residual hearing in the low frequencies benefit a lot from cochlear implants Speech Performance in quiet Speech Performance in Noise 10 db SNR

8 Discussion II Electric Acoustic stimulation (EAS) implantation criteria is getting closer to the typical hearing loss related to age Dubno et al., 2013 Can the implantation for EAS be extended? e.g. for presbyacusis? EAS Dubno,

13 Results Significant threshold elevation for acoustic masking condition (p <.001) using One-Sample Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was observed mean threshold elevation of %DR (9.45 CU) no relation between threshold elevation and tested stimulation sites, threshold elevation can be observed throughout the distance range

14 Conclusions - Psychophysical Ipsilateral electric and acoustic stimulation masked each other. Electric masking on acoustic stimulation depends on the electric-acoustic frequency difference. The amount of masking increases exponentially with smaller distance between stimulation sites. Acoustic masking on electric stimulation has a broad effect in threshold elevation. A relation between acoustic masking and distance of stimulation sites could not be determined. Electric masking and acoustic masking effects are asymmetrical

15 Method Psychometric Masking Experiment 3-IFC (interval forced choice) Measurement Threshold in quiet (probe only) Masking experiment (probe + masker) Threshold elevation Stimuli Electric: unmodulated pulse trains Acoustic: pure tones Masker Most comfortable level (MCL) 500 ms Condition 1: electric masker acoustic probe Condition 2: acoustic masker - electric probe Probe Adaptive level 200 ms

17 Electrocochleography (ECochG) / Cochlear Microphonics Stimulus Acoustic Acoustic+Electric Electric Derived Acoustic = (Acoustic+Electric) Electric (K. Koka et al. 2015, CIAP) Response (CM) FFT Method adapted from: Electrocochleography in Cochlear Implant Recipients With Residual Hearing: Comparison With Audiometric Thresholds (K. Koka et al. 2016, Ear and Hear) The electrophysiological measures consisted of measuring the auditory nerve activity using intracochlear electrodes for an acoustic tone (A), electric pulse train (E), an acoustic and an electric tone (A+E) presented simultaneously Derived measure (D) was obtained substracting the responses between the A+E and the E responses. Finally the interaction is estimated substracting the D and the A responses

18 Results - Electrophysiological apical basal

19 Conclusions - Electrophysiological Electric acoustic interaction was observed only in CI users having large residual hearing using both the psychophysical and the electrophysiological response. Electrophysiologically, an interaction of 3 db at 500 Hz and 5 db at 750 Hz was observed. From these results we conclude that the interaction between electric and acoustic stimulation can be measured electrophysiologically The sensitivity of this measure underestimates the threshold elevations observed psychophysically
