Tinnitus suppression by electrical promontory stimulation (EPS) in patients with sensorineural hearing loss

Auris Nasus Larynx, 2001
Almost 10-15% of the population suffer from chronic tinnitus. There are clinical indications that a 'pathological sound' may be induced by any level of the auditory pathways. Theraupeutical difficulties and many hypotheses about tinnitus and places from which they originate might indicate various methods of treatment.

Evaluation of patients for cochlear implant by promontory stimulation: Psychophysical responses and electrically evoked brainstem potentials

British Journal of Audiology, 1986
The protocol for assessing patients for cochlear implantation at University College Hospital and the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, London, includes a session of electrophysiological tests and electrical stimulation of the cochlea. Electrocochleography is performed with the object of excluding non-organic hearing loss and of clarifying the site

Effectiveness of Bone Conduction Stimulation Applied Directly to the Otic Capsule Measured at Promontory: Assessment in Cadavers

Audiology and Neurotology, 2020
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The aims of this study included: (a) to develop a method of direct acoustic bone conduction (BC) stimulation applied directly to the otic capsule, (b) to investigate the effect of different stimulation sites on the promontory displacement amplitude, and (c) to find the best stimulation site (among 2 ...

Cortical responses to promontorial stimulation in postlingual deafness

Hearing Research, 2005
Electrical stimulation with a transtympanic electrode on the promontory of the middle ear allows the tasks of gap detection and temporal difference limen (TDL) to be carried out by both normally hearing and deaf subjects. Previous neuroimaging of normally hearing subjects revealed a region in the right posterior temporal lobe that is crucial to ...

Promontory electrical stimulation in postoperative acoustic tumor patients

The Laryngoscope, 1992
AbstractComplete deafness can follow acoustic tumor surgery and results from labyrinthine injury, auditory nerve trauma, and/or vascular compromise. A central auditory prosthesis is one potential rehabilitative strategy in such patients. Anatomical studies suggest that some spiral ganglion cells may survive after vascular occlusion, and we have ...

Round Window versus Promontory Stimulation: Assessment for Cochlear Implant Candidacy

Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 1991
Electrical stimulation of the cochlea is a part of the preliminary evaluation protocol for cochlear implant candidacy at many centers. Typically, a transtympanic needle electrode is placed on the promontory of the ear under consideration and electrical current is presented to measure auditory percepts and psychophysical-electrophysiologic measures ...

Pre-operative appraisal of cochlear implant results by means of electrical promontory stimulation: Preliminary report

Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology, 1984
A test procedure based on the patient's understanding of acoustic material is presented. The score obtained in this test showed a highly significant correlation with the postoperative score evaluated by independent examiners 4 weeks after stimulator adjustment.

Reliability of the Promontory Stimulation Test for the Preoperative Evaluation of Cochlear Implants: A Comparison with the Round Window Stimulation Test

Auris Nasus Larynx, 1994
The electrical stimulatory threshold of the preoperative promontory stimulation test (PST) was compared with the postoperative threshold of the electrode following cochlear implantation. Postoperative results from warble-tone audiometry, the vowel recognition test, the consonant recognition test, and the speech tracking test, which employed a speech ...
