Randomized trial investigates auditory function using electrocochleography in normal-hearing adults, indicating potential as a sensitive surrogate measure.
Key Points
This research aims to explore the relationship between electrocochleography Total Response (ECochG-TR) and auditory function in normal-hearing individuals.
ECochG-TR recorded using a bipolar montage in normal-hearing participants.
Auditory performance was assessed with metrics including spatial release from masking, binaural intelligibility level difference, and others.
Preliminary data collected from four participants with associated auditory measures.
Average ECochG-TR recorded was 41.16 dB μV in normal-hearing participants.
Average BILD was 7.33 dB, and SRM was 33 percentage points.
Findings indicate ECochG-TR relates to spectral resolution and temporal acuity, suggesting high sensitivity for behavioral measures.
