Ear & Hearing 2014Abstract: The overall aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility
of using electrophysiological measures of the auditory change complex
(ACC) to identify candidates for cochlear implantation in children with
auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). To achieve this overall
aim, this study (1) assessed the feasibility of measuring the ACC evoked
by temporal gaps in a group of children with ANSD across a wide age
range and (2) investigated the association between gap detection thresholds
(GDTs) measured by the ACC recordings and open-set speech-perception
performance in these subjects.
