Aim & Objectives: The study aimed to compare P1 latency and P1-N1 amplitude with receptive and expressive language ages in children using cochlear implant (CI) in one ear and a hearing aid (HA) in non-implanted ear.

Methods: The study included 30 children, consisting of 18 males and 12 females, aged between 48 and 96 months. The age at which the children received CI ranged from 42 to 69 months. A within-subject research design was utilized and participants were selected through purposive sampling. Auditory late latency responses (ALLR) were assessed using the Intelligent hearing system to measure P1 latency and P1-N1 amplitude. The assessment checklist for speech-language skills (ACSLS) was employed to evaluate receptive and expressive language age. Both assessments were conducted after cochlear implantation.

Results: A total of 30 children participated in the study, with a mean implant age of 20.03 months (SD: 8.14 months). The mean P1 latency and P1-N1 amplitude was 129.50 ms (SD: 15.05 ms) and 6.93 μV (SD: 2.24 μV) respectively. Correlation analysis revealed no significant association between ALLR measures and receptive or expressive language ages. However, there was significant negative correlation between the P1 latency and implant age (Spearman's rho = -0.371, p = 0.043).

Conclusions: The study suggests that P1 latency which is an indicative of auditory maturation, may not be a reliable marker for predicting language outcomes. It can be concluded that language development is likely to be influenced by other factors beyond auditory maturation alone.

At the cortical level, the central auditory neural system (CANS) includes primary and secondary areas. So far, much research has focused on recording fronto-central auditory evoked potentials/responses (P1-N1-P2), originating mainly from the primary auditory areas, to explore the neural processing in the auditory cortex. However, less is known about the secondary auditory areas.

Despite the long history of the horse-human bond, our understanding of the brain and mind of horses remains limited due to the lack of methods to investigate their brain functions. This study introduces a novel methodology for completely non-invasive, multi-channel recording of electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials in awake horses to examine equine auditory cortical processing. The new approach utilizes specially designed brush-shaped active electrodes that facilitate stable signal acquisition through the hair coat by penetrating electrode pins and integrated pre-amplifiers.

Introduction: This study examines the effect of cochlear implant (CI) device usage metrics on post-operative outcomes in unilateral CI recipients. The primary objective is to investigate the relationship between CI usage frequency (average daily CI use) and duration (total years of CI use) on electrically evoked cortical auditory-evoked potential (eCAEP) response peak latency (ms) and amplitude (μV).

Methods: Adult CI users ( = 41) who previously exhibited absent acoustically evoked CAEP responses participated in the study.

Background:  Williams syndrome (WS) is a genetic, multisystemic, neurodevelopmental disorder, in which studies have demonstrated the presence of auditory deficits such as conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear weakness, and subclinical signs of hearing impairment. However, few studies have assessed this population's central auditory system.

Purpose:  To analyze long-latency auditory evoked potential (LLAEP) in adults with WS and compare them with those obtained from neurotypical individuals with no hearing complaints.
