    Predicting emotion perception abilities for cochlear implant users
    (2023) PAQUETTE, S.; DEROCHE, M. L. D.; V, M. Goffi-Gomez; HOSHINO, A. C. H.; LEHMANN, A.
    Objective In daily life, failure to perceive emotional expressions can result in maladjusted behaviour. For cochlear implant users, perceiving emotional cues in sounds remains challenging, and the factors explaining the variability in patients' sensitivity to emotions are currently poorly understood. Understanding how these factors relate to auditory proficiency is a major challenge of cochlear implant research and is critical in addressing patients' limitations. Design To fill this gap, we evaluated different auditory perception aspects in implant users (pitch discrimination, music processing and speech intelligibility) and correlated them to their performance in an emotion recognition task. Study sample Eighty-four adults (18-76 years old) participated in our investigation; 42 cochlear implant users and 42 controls. Cochlear implant users performed worse than their controls on all tasks, and emotion perception abilities were correlated to their age and their clinical outcome as measured in the speech intelligibility task. Results As previously observed, emotion perception abilities declined with age (here by about 2-3% in a decade). Interestingly, even when emotional stimuli were musical, CI users' skills relied more on processes underlying speech intelligibility. Conclusions These results suggest that speech processing remains a clinical priority even when one is interested in affective skills.

    The Influence of Auditory Feedback and Vocal Rehabilitation on Prelingual Hearing-Impaired Individuals Post Cochlear Implant
    (2019) UBRIG, Maysa Tiberio; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; WEBER, Raimar; MENEZES, Marcia H. Moreira; BARRICHELO, Viviane M. O.; CUNHA, Maria Gabriela B. da; TSUJI, Domingos Hiroshi; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria S.
    Objective. To verify changes in the perceptual and acoustic vocal parameters in prelingual hearing-impaired adults with cochlear implants after vocal rehabilitation. Hypothesis. Auditory feedback restoration alone after cochlear implant is not enough for vocal adjustments. A targeted and specific voice therapy intervention is required. Study Design. Prospective and pre-post repeated measures design. Methods. Twenty literate adults with severe to profound prelingual bilateral sensorineural hearing loss participated in the study; individuals were implanted late and were fluent users of oral language. Ages ranged from 17 to 48 years. All individuals presented normal results in laryngoscopy, and hearing thresholds with the cochlear implant were over 40 dB HL. Individuals were randomly distributed into two groups: Group 1 (treatment group) and Group 2 (control group), both with ten patients each, five men and five women, matching mean age and hearing deprivation time before the cochlear implantation. Patients from Group 1 underwent a protocol of vocal therapy including 12 individual sessions with the same clinician. Group 2 only underwent vocal recordings. The vocal recordings occurred before and after the participation in the therapy protocol for Group 1 and after the same period, 3 months later, without any intervention, for Group 2. The recording sessions used the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice protocol sentence reading and emission of sustained vowel /a/. Auditory-perceptual evaluation of voices was performed by three judges, and the acoustical analysis used the Praat program. Results. Statistically significant reductions in the overall vocal degree, vocal instability, and degree of resonance change were observed after vocal rehabilitation in Group 1. Statistically, individuals from Group 1 did not differ in regard to the modification of acoustic parameters. Group 2 did not present significant changes in any of the analyzed parameters. Conclusions. The cochlear implanted adults submitted to vocal rehabilitation presented changes in the auditory-perceptual parameters, with reduction of the overall voice severity, vocal instability, and degree of resonance after vocal intervention. There were no changes in the acoustic parameters in the implanted prelingual hearing-impaired adult subjects.

    (2013) BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; FONSECA, Anna Carolina de Oliveira; IKARI, Liliane Satomi; BRITO NETO, Rubens Vuono de
    Objective: The present investigation evaluated the speech perception performance of patients with ossified cochlea implanted with the 24M Double Array cochlear implant, using standard and duplicated maps in each of the arrays. Study Design: Retrospective case review. Setting: Tertiary referral center. Patients: Sixteen subjects received a Double Array cochlear implant. Among these, 9 fulfilled the following inclusion criteria: bilateral severe-to- profound postlingual deafness; bilateral obliterated cochlea, as shown by a computed tomographic scan; and a minimum age of 14 years to ensure reliable responses in the behavioral tests with the 3 tested maps. Intervention: Rehabilitative. Main Outcome Measures: The speech perception performance with the 2 arrays was compared with that with a basal array duplicated map and an apical array duplicated map. Three maps were fitted: the default map with both arrays activated, a double channel map using only the electrodes of the basal array, and a double channel map programmed only with the electrodes of the apical array. The test battery was composed of a vowel test, a 4-choice word test, and sentence recognition in quiet. Results: Statistical significance was reached in comparison the all tests in all programming conditions. Speech recognition in the standard map with both electrode arrays activated showed the highest scores. Conclusion: Performance with the 2 split electrode arrays was superior to those with the single arrays, regardless of the duplication of channels.

    (2011) BITTENCOURT, Aline Gomes; SANTOS, Andrea Felice Dos; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; KUTSCHER, Kellen; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; BRITO, Rubens De; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira
    Conclusion: The cochlear implant was beneficial as an attempt to restore hearing and improve communication abilities in this patient with profound sensorineural hearing loss secondary to Susac syndrome. Objective: To report the audiological outcomes of cochlear implantation (CI) in a young woman with Susac syndrome after a 6-month follow-up period. Susac syndrome is a rare disorder. It is clinically characterized by a typical triad of sensorineural deafness, encephalopathy, and visual defect, due to microangiopathy involving the brain, inner ear, and retina. Methods: This was a retrospective review of a case at a tertiary referral center. After diagnosis, the patient was evaluated by a multidisciplinary team and received a cochlear implant in her right ear. Results: The patient achieved 100% open-set sentence recognition in noise conditions and 92% monosyllable and 68% medial consonant recognition in quiet conditions after 6 months of implant use. She reported the use of the telephone 3 months after activation.

    (2015) RAMOS, Bernardo Faria; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; RAMOS, Henrique Faria; SAMUEL, Paola Angelica; BRITO, Rubens
    Conclusion: Topical dexamethasone associated with hyaluronic acid in cochlear implant surgery demonstrated a statistically significant difference in the preservation of low-frequency thresholds when compared with topical dexamethasone alone and a control group. Topical dexamethasone alone was not superior in hearing preservation when compared to the control group. Objective: To compare the effects of topical dexamethasone alone and associated with hyaluronic acid intraoperatively in hearing preservation in cochlear implantation. Methods: Eighteen severely to profoundly hearing-impaired adult patients with measurable hearing were divided into three groups preoperatively: cochlear implantation as a control group (group 1), cochlear implantation using topical dexamethasone intraoperatively (group 2), and cochlear implantation using topical dexamethasone associated with hyaluronic acid intraoperatively (group 3). Preimplant and postimplant low-frequency pure-tone averages (PTAs) were calculated from unaided audiograms at 125, 250, and 500 Hz. Results: The mean changes in the low-frequency PTA comparing postoperative against preoperative thresholds were 28.03 +/- 6.77 dB in group 1, 30 +/- 14.53 dB in group 2, and 7.23 +/- 6.12 dB in group 3. There was statistical difference when comparing group 3 with groups 1 and 2 using one-way ANOVA (p = 0.002) followed by Scheffe post hoc test.

    Is There Any Correlation between Spread of Excitation Width and the Refractory Properties of the Auditory Nerve in Cochlear Implant Users?
    (2021) SILVA, Juliana Coutinho da; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; BENTO, Ricardo; BRITO NETO, Rubens
    Background: The spread of excitation (SOE) and auditory nerve recovery function (REC) are objective measures recorded by neural response telemetry and may interfere in cochlear implant (CI) stimulation. Objective: To analyze and correlate SOE with the refractory periods in subjects with pre- and postlingual deafness implanted with different electrode arrays. Methods: This was a retrospective study of 323 ears separated by perimodiolar or straight arrays and by pre- or postlingually deaf recipients. Measures were collected intraoperatively on electrode 11. The SOE width was measured in millimeters at the 0.75 point of the curve, and the relative (tau) and absolute (t0) refractory periods were measured in microseconds. Results: There was a statistical correlation between the SOE and the t0 in the patients with postlingual deafness implanted with the perimodiolar array. The SOE width was statistically different between the straight and perimodiolar arrays and between the pre- and postlingual groups in the perimodiolar array. Tau was statistically different between the pre- and postlingual groups with the straight array and the t0, between the pre- and postlingual groups with the perimodiolar array. Neural response threshold and amplitude of the neural response were not statistically different among groups. Conclusion: There was a correlation between SOE width and t0 only in patients with acquired deafness. The findings suggest that different factors influence SOE and REC, considering SOE is different according to the electrode array and REC being different according the onset of deafness.

    Are Auditory Steady-State Responses Useful to Evaluate Severe-to-Profound Hearing Loss in Children?
    (2015) GRASEL, Signe Schuster; ALMEIDA, Edigar Rezende de; BECK, Roberto Miquelino de Oliveira; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; RAMOS, Henrique Faria; ROSSI, Amanda Costa; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira; BRITO, Rubens de
    Objective. To evaluate Auditory Steady-State Responses (ASSR) at high intensities in pediatric cochlear implant candidates and to compare the results to behavioral tests responses. Methods. This prospective study evaluated 42 children with suspected severe-to-profound hearing loss, aged from 3 to 72 months. All had absent ABR and OAE responses. ASSR were evoked using binaural single frequency stimuli at 110 dB HL with a 10 dB down-seeking procedure. ASSR and behavioral test results were compared. Results. Forty-two subjects completed both ASSR and behavioral evaluation. Eleven children (26.2%) had bilateral responses. Four (9.5%) showed unilateral responses in at least two frequencies, all confirmed by behavioral results. Overall 61 ASSR responses were obtained, most (37.7%) in 500 Hz. Mean thresholds were between 101.3 and 104.2 dB HL. Among 27 subjects with absent ASSR, fifteen had no behavioral responses. Seven subjects showed behavioral responses with absent ASSR responses. No spurious ASSR responses were observed at 100 or 110 dB HL. Conclusion. ASSR is a valuable tool to detect residual hearing. No false-positive ASSR results were observed among 42 children, but in seven cases with absent ASSR, the test underestimated residual hearing as compared to the behavioral responses.

    Can the use of the CROS system provide head shadow effect contribution to unilateral Cochlear Implant Users?
    (2022) HOSHINO, Ana Cristina Hiromi; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; SIERRA, Paola Angelica Samuel; AGRAWAL, Smita; RODRIGUEZ, Carina; CARVALHO, Ana Claudia Martinho de; TSUJI, Robinson Koji
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of the CROS system on the head shadow effect in unilateral implant users. Methods: Prospective cross-sectional study, approved by the ethics committee under protocol 2.128.869. Eleven adults with post-lingual deafness users of unilateral Advanced Bionics CI were selected. Speech recognition was evaluated with recorded words presented at 65dBA at 0o azimuth and at 90o on the side contralateral to the CI, with noise at 55dBA, using CI alone and CI + CROS system. The results were analyzed using paired t-test with a 0.05 alpha. Results: The mean speech recognition scores were significantly better with CI + CROS in relation to the condition of CI alone (p <0.05, p <0.005 and p <0.005 respectively). In the presentation at 0o azimuth, no significant differences were found. Conclusion: Users of unilateral CI without useful residual hearing for the use of hearing aids or unable to undergo bilateral surgery can benefit from the CROS device for speech recognition, especially when the speech is presented on the side contralateral to the CI.

    (2017) FERNANDES, Nayara Freitas; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valéria Schmidt; MAGALHÃES, Ana Tereza De Matos; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; DE BRITO, Rubens Vuono; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira
    ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate satisfaction and quality of life of users of Auditory Implant Brainstem. Methods This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted at Divisão de Clínica Otorrinolaringológica of Hospital das Clínicas of Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil. For the research, 19 users of an Auditory Brainstem Implant answered the following questionnaires: KINDLR (Questionnaire for Measuring Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents), for children and adolescents, their parents and/or caregivers; WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, for adult participants; and the Satisfaction with Amplification in Daily Life (SADL) questionnaire culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Results The quality of life of children using Auditory Brainstem Implant from the perspective of their parents showed global results above average, as for most domains, except for the emotional well-being domain. Adults showed results above average for all domains. Regarding satisfaction with the device, the adult users of auditory brainstem implant were satisfied in general, except with regard to personal image. The parents of the children showed dissatisfaction in all subscales, except for the subscale of services and cost. Conclusion The results indicated that although patients are dissatisfied with the device in some aspects, overall the quality of life was rated as good for most of the aspects assessed.

    Is the spread of excitation width correlated to the speech recognition in cochlear implant users?
    (2021) SILVA, Juliana Coutinho da; GOFFI-GOMEZ, Maria Valeria Schmidt; MAGALHAES, Ana Tereza; TSUJI, Robinson Koji; BENTO, Ricardo Ferreira
    Purpose To assess whether there is an interference of the spread of excitation (SOE) on speech recognition. Methods Retrospective cross-sectional study, approved by the institution's ethics committee (CAAE03409212.8.0000.0068). Adult patients with intraoperative neural response telemetry (NRT) performed on electrodes 6, 11 and 16 implanted with Cochlear Ltd (Sydney, Australia) devices were selected. Patients with partial array insertion, pre-lingual hearing loss, deafness etiology due to and CI experience less than 12 months were excluded. SOE was recorded at 10 current units above the NRT threshold (tNRT) and its width in millimeters was collected at point 0.75 of the function. Speech recognition test was 25-recorded monosyllables list, presented at 65 dBHL at 0 degrees azimuth in a sound treated booth. The analysis was divided into groups by electrode array type, regarding the tNRT, SOE width, SOE's peak amplitude and electrode peak. Results A 126 SOE measurements of the 3 tested electrodes were obtained from 43 patients. Patients with straight array had significantly wider SOE, greater peak amplitude at electrode 6 and higher tNRTs. In the perimodiolar array, there was a negative correlation between SOE and monosyllables recognition at electrodes 6 and 11, and in the combined average of the three electrodes, with a significant difference in electrode 11. Sixty-six percent of the SOE measurements had their peak shifted to adjacent electrodes. Conclusion It was observed, in perimodiolar array, the greater the dispersion of electrical current, the worse the speech recognition, especially in the medial electrode.
