Cochlear implants allow measures of neural function, through Neural response telemetry (NRT) and Auditory nerve recovery function (REC). These help in programming the speech processor and understanding the auditory system. However, not many studies have evaluated and compared these in different regions of the cochlea. Comparing NRT and REC in different regions of the cochlea. Cross-sectional, descriptive and prospective. NRT and REC (through the function of T0 - absolute refractory period, A - amplitude and TAU - time constant of the relative refractory period parameters) were evaluated, in three groups according to the stimulated electrode of the cochlea: apical, medial and basal. 26 adult patients were evaluated, 2 bilateral, totalling 28 ears. Data analysis showed no statistically significant difference between NRT between medial and basal but showed between apical and medial and apical and basal. For T0, there was a significant difference between medial and basal; for A, there was a significant difference between apical and basal and also medial and basal; and for TAU, there was no significant difference. There was a statistically significant difference in NRT and REC when compared between different regions of the cochlea.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011446 Prospective Studies Observation of a population for a sufficient number of persons over a sufficient number of years to generate incidence or mortality rates subsequent to the selection of the study group. Prospective Study,Studies, Prospective,Study, Prospective
D003051 Cochlea The part of the inner ear (LABYRINTH) that is concerned with hearing. It forms the anterior part of the labyrinth, as a snail-like structure that is situated almost horizontally anterior to the VESTIBULAR LABYRINTH. Cochleas
D003054 Cochlear Implants Electronic hearing devices typically used for patients with normal outer and middle ear function, but defective inner ear function. In the COCHLEA, the hair cells (HAIR CELLS, VESTIBULAR) may be absent or damaged but there are residual nerve fibers. The device electrically stimulates the COCHLEAR NERVE to create sound sensation.

D003056 Cochlear Nerve The cochlear part of the 8th cranial nerve (VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR NERVE). The cochlear nerve fibers originate from neurons of the SPIRAL GANGLION and project peripherally to cochlear hair cells and centrally to the cochlear nuclei (COCHLEAR NUCLEUS) of the BRAIN STEM. They mediate the sense of hearing.

D003430 Cross-Sectional Studies Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time.
