Objective: Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is characterized by absent or atypical auditory brainstem responses (ABR), recordable otoacoustic emissions and/or cochlear microphonics. Modification of ABR stimuli is discussed to improve wave V synchronization in ANSD patients.
Design: Ten ANSD children (seven unilateral) underwent ABR measurement with an alternating stimulus (40.5s(-1)), constant rarefaction and condensation stimuli, a reduced click-rate (11.1s(-1)) and a chirp-stimulus.
Results: The results showed no remarkably better synchronization with modified stimuli. Whereas higher levels showed no synchronization, reproducible positive waves at 8 ms (P8) at intensities of 65-85 dB were found in six patients with all stimuli.
Conclusions: We suggest an ipsilateral auditory origin of the positive potentials at 8 ms. They could be characteristic of synchronization abnormalities in some cases of ANSD.

The aim was to explore the application value of dynamic electroencephalography (EEG) combined with brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) in evaluating the degree of vascular stenosis and prognosis in patients with ischemic stroke (IS). This was a retrospective study using clinical data of patients with IS admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical and Pharmaceutical College from March 2020 to March 2022. The degree of vascular stenosis and prognosis of patients were analyzed.

However, the molecular logic governing these specializations remains unknown. By combining single-nucleus RNA sequencing and Patch-seq analysis, we reveal a set of transcriptionally distinct cell populations encompassing all previously observed types and discover multiple hitherto unknown subtypes with anatomical and physiological identity.

Objective: The interpretation of ABR results in patients with vestibular schwannoma is often unclear. We investigated the correlation between serviceable hearing in patients with vestibular schwannoma (VS) and factors including auditory brainstem response (ABR) at their initial presentation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed initial magnetic resonance imaging findings, Gardner-Robertson (G&R) classification, ABR, and related data from 72 patients with VS who visited our institution between February 2017 and January 2023.

Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience difficulties in understanding speech in noise despite having normal hearing.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between speech discrimination in noise (SDN) and medial olivocochlear reflex levels and to compare MS patients with a control group.
Material And Methods: Sixty participants with normal hearing, comprising 30 MS patients and 30 healthy controls, were included.

Background: Non-isolated auditory neuropathy (AN), or syndromic AN, is marked by AN along with additional systemic manifestations. The diagnostic process is challenging due to its varied symptoms and overlap with other syndromes. This study focuses on two mitochondrial function-related genes which result in non-isolated AN, FDXR and TWNK, providing a summary and enrichment analysis of genes associated with non-isolated AN to elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlation and underlying mechanisms.
