Abstract
Objective: The present study sought to determine the cochlear frequency regions represented by Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs) obtained using the high-pass noise/derived response (HP/DR) technique.
Design: Broadband noise sufficient to mask the ABR to 50 dB nHL clicks was HP filtered (96 dB/oct) at 8000, 4000, 2000, 1000 and 500 Hz. Mixed with the clicks and HP noise masker was narrowband noise. Three derived response bands, denoted by the upper and lower high-pass noise frequencies, were obtained: DR4000-2000, DR2000-1000, and DR1000-500.
Study sample: Ten adults with normal hearing, aged 19-27 years (mean age: 22.4 years), were recruited from the community.
Results: Frequencies contributing to each DR were determined from the wave V percent amplitude (or latency shift) vs narrowband masker frequency profiles (relative to a no-narrowband-noise condition). Overall, results indicate derived band centre frequencies were closer to the lower HP cut-off frequencies for DR4000-2000 and DR2000-1000, and approximately halfway between the lower HP cut-off and the geometric mean of the two HP frequencies for DR1000-500, with bandwidths of 0.5-1 octave in width.
Conclusions: These results confirm the validity of the HP/DR technique for assessing narrow cochlear regions (≤1.0 octave wide), with centre frequencies within ½-octave of the lower HP frequency.
目的:本研究旨在确定使用高通噪声/衍生反应(HP/DR)技术获得的听觉脑干反应(ABR)所代表的耳蜗频率区域:本研究旨在确定使用高通噪声/衍生反应(HP/DR)技术获得的听性脑干反应(ABR)所代表的耳蜗频率区域:设计:对频率为 8000、4000、2000、1000 和 500 Hz 的宽带噪声进行 HP 滤波(96 dB/oct),使其足以将 ABR 屏蔽到 50 dB nHL 点击声。与单击声和 HP 噪声掩蔽器混合的是窄带噪声。得到了三个衍生响应带,分别用上下高通噪声频率表示:研究样本:研究样本:从社区招募了 10 名听力正常的成年人,年龄在 19-27 岁之间(平均年龄:22.4 岁):根据波 V 百分比振幅(或潜伏期偏移)与窄带掩蔽器频率曲线(相对于无窄带噪声条件)确定了每种 DR 的频率。总体而言,结果表明 DR4000-2000 和 DR2000-1000 的导出频带中心频率更接近于较低的 HP 截止频率,而 DR1000-500 的导出频带中心频率大约介于较低的 HP 截止频率和两个 HP 频率的几何平均值之间,带宽宽度为 0.5-1 倍频程:这些结果证实了 HP/DR 技术在评估窄耳蜗区域(≤1.0 倍频程宽)时的有效性,其中心频率在 HP 下限频率的 ½ 倍频程范围内。
