Amplification and Dead Regions in the Cochlea
Option(s):
Audio CD and Manual, Additional Manual(s)
CEUs:
0.2
Regions of the cochlea where there are no functioning inner hair cells and/or neurons, known as dead regions, have important implications for the fitting of hearing aids. Basilar membrane vibration in such regions is not transduced and does not lead to action potentials in the auditory nerve. This audio self-study describes the audiogram configurations that may be associated with dead regions and describes the application of the TEN test, which can be used to detect dead regions and to define their extent. Clinical applications of the results, including applications in fitting hearing aids, are discussed.

Video clips of language-based activities illustrate how auditory tasks are designed and presented. Children ranging in age from toddler to adolescent provide an opportunity to see the varying stages of auditory development. Additionally, the mapping process and the role of the speech and hearing clinicians in providing valuable information to the cochlear implant centers is reviewed.
