AI Article Synopsis
- The study aims to measure the effective masking level (EML) and inter-aural attenuation (IA) for click and CE-Chirp signals in young adults with normal hearing.
- A sample of 26 adults aged 18-25, with specific hearing criteria, was tested using a Radioear B-81 to elicit auditory brainstem responses (ABR).
- Results showed the EML and IA values for both signals, indicating how effective these stimuli are in producing ABR under controlled conditions.
Article Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the noise effective masking level (EML) and inter-aural attenuation (IA) for click and CE-Chirp signals presented though a Radioear B-81 to elicit the auditory brainstem responses in normally hearing, young adults.
Design And Study Sample: A total of 26 conveniently sampled adults (13 male and 13 female, aged 18-25 years; 52 ears), with pure-tone hearing thresholds not >15 dB nHL at octave frequencies from 250 to 8000 Hz, and subjective thresholds for the bone-conducted click and CE-Chirp not >10 dB nHL.
Results: At stimulus intensities of 30 and 40 dB nHL, the contralateral EML was 67.86 ± 0.78 and 77.80 ± 0.81 dB SPL (respectively) for the click and 72.11 ± 0.74 and 83.53 ± 0.78 dB SPL (respectively) for the CE-Chirp. At stimulus intensities of 30 and 40 dB nHL, the IA was 3.46 ± 2.34 and 3.38 ± 2.03 dB (respectively) for both the click and the CE-Chirp.
Conclusion: EML and IA values are reported for click and CE-Chirp signals presented at 30 and 40 dB nHL though a Radioear B-81 to elicit the ABR in normally hearing, young adults.

Rising-frequency chirp stimuli effectively enhance the amplitude and shorten the latency of 40-hz auditory steady-state response.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of changes in group delay from a click signal to a chirp signal on the 40-Hz Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR) using magnetoencephalography (MEG).
Design: In this study, each participant was exposed to 10 chirp signals with gradually varying group delays from the CE chirp to the click at 60 dB nHL. The 40-Hz ASSR was measured using MEG and evaluated for amplitude and latency in the maximum signal channel at the click signal measured in each hemisphere.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of the Level-Specific CE-Chirp (LS CE-Chirp) stimulus versus the traditional click stimulus in auditory brainstem response (ABR) tests for diagnosing high-frequency hearing loss (HFHL).
- It involved 30 individuals with HFHL and 30 controls, measuring peak latencies and interpeak latencies of ABR waves after exposing them to both stimuli.
- Results showed that while the LS CE-Chirp had longer latencies at higher intensity in normal-hearing individuals, it did not show significant differences in the HFHL group compared to clicks, suggesting more consistent results with LS CE-Chirp but requiring further research for clinical effectiveness.

Background: Auditory brainstem response (ABR) to the level-specific (LS) CE-Chirp has been reported to provide optimum neural synchrony along cochlear partitions, theoretically improving ABR waveform resolution. Despite this promising finding, limited studies have been conducted to contrast the results between LS CE-Chirp and Click stimuli. The current study aimed to compare the results of ABR between the two stimuli (Click and LS CE-Chirp).

Introduction: Aging deteriorates peripheral and central auditory structures and functions. In elders, for an accurate audiological evaluation, it is important to explore beyond the cochlear receptor. Audiograms provide an estimation of hearing thresholds, while the amplitudes and latencies of supra-threshold auditory brainstem response (ABR) can offer noninvasive measures of the auditory pathways functioning.

Background: Kabuki syndrome 1 (KS1; OMIM:147920), which is characterized by distinctive dysmorphic facial features (such as arched eyebrows, long palpebral fissures with eversion of the lower lid, and large protuberant ears), intellectual disability, short stature, and dermatoglyphic and skeletal abnormalities, is brought on by pathogenic variants in KMT2D (OMIM:602113). In this work, three individuals with novel pathogenic KMT2D gene variants had their longitudinal audiological manifestations and ear structural characteristics outlined.
Methods: The longitudinal audiological data from neonatal hearing screening and a battery of several hearing tests were evaluated.
