8:15 -9:45 Daniel Lee, M.D., FACS.: Cochlear or Auditory Brainstem Implants for Children with Severe to Profound Hearing Loss
Auditory brainstem implants are options for infants, children and adults with are deaf and cannot receive a cochlear implant. Patients diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) and patients who are deafened by vestibular schwannomas may also benefit from auditory brainstem implants. FDA trials are currently underway on the efficacy of auditory brainstem implants in both children and adults.
Dr. Lee’s presentation will provide an overview of the auditory pathways, indications for pediatric CI or ABI, radiologic criteria for implantation, and surgical and audiologic outcomes.

1:00-2:30 Donald Schum, Ph.D.:
The Individualized Effects of Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss represents a change in the physiology of a complex system. Decades of research have shown that the effects on the perception of auditory signals varies significantly from patient to patient. However, as a field, we have been slow to incorporate this variation into fitting practices. In this talk, the nature of the individualized effects of hearing loss will be reviewed along with approaches that have been introduced to better reflect this natural range of performance in fitting practice.

2:30-3:30 Richard Salvi, Ph.D.: Neural Network Mediating the Phantom Sound of Tinnitus and Loudness Hypersensitivity
Hearing loss is often accompanied by tinnitus, a phantom ringing sensation and hyperacusis, sounds perceived as intolerably loud or painful. Since tinnitus and hyperacusis are triggered by hearing loss, these disorders were assumed to originate in the ear. However, since ablating the auditory nerve failed to eliminate these symptoms, tinnitus and hyperacusis are now believed to arise from aberrant neural activity within the brain. To identify the neural substrate for these disorders, we induced tinnitus and hyperacusis with salicylate, an ototoxic drug, and used behavioral, electrophysiological and fMRI techniques to identify the tinnitus-hyperacusis neural network. Salicylate depressed the neural output of the cochlea, but amplified sound-svoked neural responses in the amygdala, inferior colliculus, medial geniculate body and auditory cortex. fMRI revealed hyperactivity within a neural network consisting of the inferior colliculus, medial geniculate body and auditory cortex with side branches to the cerebellum, amygdala and reticular formation. Functional connectivity analysis revealed enhanced coupling within the auditory network and between the auditory network and the cerebellum, reticular formation, amygdala and hippocampus. The components of this network can account for the distress, spatial location , arousal and gating the tinnitus and hyperacusis.
