P1-N1-P2 Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in Chronic Unilateral Acquired Conductive Hearing Loss in Adults
BACKGROUND: Chronic unilateral hearing loss causes imbalanced auditory input to the brain that triggers cortical reorganization. The effect of sensorineural hearing loss on the central auditory system (CAS) has been thoroughly studied, while there is a paucity of research on the effect of conductive...

| description | BACKGROUND: Chronic unilateral hearing loss causes imbalanced auditory input to the brain that triggers cortical reorganization. The effect of sensorineural hearing loss on the central auditory system (CAS) has been thoroughly studied, while there is a paucity of research on the effect of conductive hearing loss (CHL). The aim of this study was to assess the P1-N1-P2 cortical auditory evoked response potential (CAEP) in adult individuals with chronic acquired unilateral CHL.
METHODS: This study included 108 participants of both genders: 54 patients with unilateral chronic CHL who were compared to well-matched 54 controls. All were subjected to history-taking, otologic examination, basic audiological evaluation, and bone conduction N1-P2 CAEP.
RESULTS: The affected ears of the cases showed highly statistically significant shorter CAEPs N1, P2, N1-P2 latencies but not P1, and showed highly statistically significant larger N1, P2, N1P2, amplitude than the control group. Latencies decreased and amplitudes increased as the degree of CHL increased, but were not affected by patients’ age, side, or duration of the CHL. Cases with tinnitus had statistically significant and worse results than those without tinnitus.
CONCLUSION: Unilateral chronic CHL might enhance neurocortical plasticity, with greater changes occurring at greater degrees of the CHL. |
