Auditory nerve (AN) fibers that innervate inner hair cells in the cochlea degenerate with advancing age. It has been proposed that age-related reductions in brainstem frequency-following responses (FFR) to the carrier of low-frequency, high-intensity pure tones may partially reflect this neural loss in the cochlea (Märcher-Rørsted et al., 2022).

Article Synopsis
  • Non-invasive electrophysiological measures like auditory evoked potentials (AEPs) are crucial for diagnosing hearing issues, but their connection to cochlear degeneration is complex and not fully understood.
  • A new modeling framework has been developed to better simulate AEPs by enhancing the auditory-nerve model, leading to more accurate predictions of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and frequency-following responses (FFRs) with certain limitations.
  • The refined model offers a better representation of how auditory nerve fibers contribute to brainstem responses, highlighting the importance of cochlear processing and providing a useful tool for assessing hearing disorders in both research and clinical settings.

Explaining neurological factors of hearing loss through digital technologies.

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

January 2024

Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen Hearing and Balance Centre. Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) and Audiology Clinic, Inge Lehmanns Vej 8, 2100, København Ø, Denmark. Electronic address:

Unlabelled: The study investigated how inclusion of the considerable amount of knowledge generated through basic research in multisensory experiences can be brought into clinical paediatric audiology with a specific focus to enhance understanding of the neurological implications of childhood hearing loss.

Objectives: The overall aim of the project was to investigate how to use emerging technologies to enhance the understanding of the neurological impact of paediatric hearing loss. The specific objectives were to develop an app and to evaluate its ease of use and the understanding of neurology by all types of stakeholders and end-users.

History re-written for children with hearing impairment.

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

January 2022

Copenhagen Hearing and Balance Center, Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) and Audiology Clinic, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Inge Lehmanns Vej 8, DK-2100, Kobehnhavn O, Denmark.

Unlabelled: A new generation of children with hearing impairment (HI) has emerged due to introduction of universal neonatal hearing screening, medical-surgical/technical and educational advances in the field of paediatric audiology.

Aim: The primary aim of the study was to investigate long-term development of language fundamentals of children with HI at school level and analyse associations to several background variables.

Method And Material: The project design is prospective, longitudinal and comparative and was conducted over a three-year period with annual testing of core language, expressive language, working memory and pragmatics.
