Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to assess the clinical evaluations and potential underlying pathologies in patients diagnosed with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) who exhibited unusual results in audiological tests. The research involved the retrospective analysis of audiological tests of 11 patients conducted by expert audiologists at Istanbul Medipol Mega Hospital between 2010 and 2020. These patients displayed abnormalities in their Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) tests. The study sought to investigate patients with ANSD who presented atypical audiological findings, shedding light on the associated clinical aspects and potential causes of such anomalies.

Hearing Thresholds Assessments

Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is a type of hearing disorder that affects the transmission of sound signals from the inner ear to the brain. In individuals with ANSD, the outer hair cells in the cochlea, which are responsible for amplifying sound, typically function properly. However, there is a disruption in the transmission of auditory information from the cochlea to the auditory nerve and then to the brain. It is characterized by a mismatch between the results of objective hearing tests, such as Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), and subjective hearing experiences. In ABR tests, the responses of the auditory nerve to sounds may be abnormal, while the individual perceives their hearing to be better than suggested by the test results. In this study we showed ANSD patients with abnormal ABR results by using ABR, Otoacoustic Emissions, Tympanometry and behavioral test batteries.
