EFFECTS OF ELECTRICAL PROMONTORY STIMULATION AND BAND-NOISE MASKER IN THE SUPPRESSION OF TINNITUS
The effects of electrical promontory stimulation (EPS) and band-noise masker (BNM) were examined in 102 patients suffering from tinnitus. The effects of EPS were as follows: complete suppression in 8 patients (8%), partial suppression in 53 patients (52%), no effect in 40 patients (39%), and exacerbation in 1 patient (1%).

High-Resolution EEG Amplifiers Are Feasible for Electrocochleography Without Time Restriction [PDF]
Objectives: The gold standard for electrocochleography (ECochG) is using dedicated recording devices for auditory evoked potentials. However, these have a very limited time window for recording.

Electrical promontory stimulation in patients with intact cochlear nerve and anacusis following acoustic neuroma surgery [PDF]
AbstractAnacusis following hearing preservation surgery for acoustic neuroma removal in which the cochlear nerve was preserved has been explained on the basis of neural or vascular compromise. In the absence of pathologic evidence for either theory, a physiologic model was chosen.

Influence of the Intracranial Contents on the Head Motion under Bone Conduction. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The mechanism of non-osseous bone conduction pathways, involving the intracranial contents (ICC) of the skull, is still not well understood.

Suppression of Tinnitus by Electrical Promontory Stimulation.
我々は岬角電気刺激により耳鳴を抑制することを試みた。 対象は59例, 62耳であり, 男性34名, 女性25名で, 聴力レベルは, 軽度感音性難聴より聾型までを含む。 岬角電気刺激装置としてはコクレア社製promontory stimulatorを用い, 刺激波として2相性のパルスバーストを用いた。 耳鳴の抑制率は, 原因不明の感音性難聴76.9%, 突発性難聴85.7%, 耳毒性薬物, 騒音などの原因による内耳性難聴80.0%, メニエール病83.3%, 中耳炎などの原因による内耳炎71.4%, 聴神経腫瘍8.3%, 平均66.1%であった。 以上より, 内耳性の耳鳴には抑制率が高く, 後迷路性のものについては低い結果となり, 耳鳴の病巣部位の推定に岬角電気刺激検査が有用であると思われた。

An intact cochlear nerve is necessary for successful cochlear implantation (CI). Although the promontory stimulation test (PST) using a promontory stimulator (PS) and a transtympanic needle electrode is invasive, it is still commonly used to verify cochlear nerve function.

A COMPARISON OF TIME RESOLUTION AMONG AUDITORY, TACTILE AND PROMONTORY ELECTRICAL STIMULATION
Our previous reports showed that second formant information, using a speech coding method, could be transmitted through an electrode on the promontory. However, second formant information can also be transmitted by tactile stimulation. Therefore, to find out whether electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve would be superior to tactile stimulation ...

We performed Electrical Promontory Stimulation (EPS) for the suppression of tinnitus in 52 patients and measured Compound Action Potentials (CAP) using electrocochleography before and after EPS. We examined the relation between residual inhibition and CAP. The purpose of this study was to investigate the origin and mechanism of suppression of tinnitus.

Tinnitus Treatment with Alternating Polarity Promontory Stimulator.
This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the suppression of severe tinnitus by the alternating polarity electrical promontory stimulation (EPS) method. The three types of stimulation used in this study were electrical burst (duration 0.5 sec., 1 Hz) of 1) biphasic pulsed AC, 2) pulsed anodal DC and 3) pulsed cathodal DC. In 27 subjects (

Evaluation of Electric Promontory Stimulation Test for Cerebellopontine Angle Tumors.
Transtympanic electric promontory stimulation (EPS) was first performed by House & Brackmann for the purpose of differentiating between sensory and neural type deafness. There are few reports dealing with EPS in neural deafness. This paper focuses on the accuracy of EPS, with the use of a promontory stimulator (Nucleus Co.), in patients with neural ...
