          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the functioning of the outer hair cells and the medial efferent olivocochlear system, and the integrity of the auditory pathways in the brainstem up to the auditory cortex, in aphasic individuals. Methods: the sample comprised 20 individuals - 10 without aphasia and 10 with it, aged from 21 to 58 years. The procedures used were the research of the otoacoustic emissions by a transient stimulus with and without noise, and the cognitive potential (tone-burst and speech stimuli). The findings were analyzed based on descriptive statistics. Results: the suppression effect was more present in individuals without aphasia when compared with the aphasic ones. In the cognitive potential, the mean latency values of P3 was within normality standards, with a higher latency in the individuals presented with aphasia for the tone-burst stimulus in both ears. A statistically significant difference of the P3-N2 amplitude was observed for the tone-burst stimulus, comparing the ears in both groups, and for speech stimulus only to the left ear in both groups. Conclusions: aphasic individuals did not present significant differences regarding suppression of the otoacoustic emissions. As for the cognitive potential, the aphasic individuals presented higher latency values when compared to those with no aphasia.

          RESUMO Objetivos: verificar o funcionamento das células ciliadas externas e do sistema olivococlear eferente medial e a integridade das vias auditivas no tronco encefálico até o córtex auditivo, em indivíduos afásicos. Métodos: a amostra foi composta por 20 indivíduos, sendo 10 indivíduos sem afasia e 10 indivíduos afásicos, com idades entre 21 e 58 anos. Os procedimentos utilizados foram: pesquisa das emissões otoacústicas por estímulo transiente sem e com ruído, e potencial cognitivo (estímulo toneburst e de fala). Os achados foram analisados a partir da estatística descritiva. Resultados: o efeito de supressão esteve mais presente nos indivíduos sem afasia quando comparado com os afásicos. No potencial cognitivo, o valor médio das latências P3, mostrou-se dentro dos padrões da normalidade com maior latência nos indivíduos com afasia para o estímulo toneburst em ambas as orelhas. Observou-se diferença estatisticamente significante da amplitude P3-N2 para o estímulo toneburst, comparando as orelhas em ambos os grupos, e para o estímulo de fala apenas à orelha esquerda em ambos os grupos. Conclusões: indivíduos afásicos não apresentaram diferenças significantes quanto à supressão das emissões otoacústicas. Quanto ao potencial cognitivo, os indivíduos afásicos apresentaram maior valor de latência em relação aos indivíduos sem afasia.

            The influence of evoking stimulus level on the neural suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions.

            This study concerns the suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) by contralateral noise. The suppression is interpreted as neurally induced changes in cochlear mechanics. The magnitude of TEOAE suppression is explored in response to a single level of contralateral noise, in 20 normal subjects, and as a function of TEOAE evoking stimulus power in 6 subjects. TEOAE were found to be relatively more susceptible to contralateral suppression when the TEOAE evoking stimulus was low. This suggests that saturation of the TEOAE generator by the evoking stimulus reduces the susceptibility of the generator to neural suppression. However, this relation did not hold between ears. Those ears in which the TEOAE seemed easier to saturate were easier to suppress by contralateral noise. We have concluded that TEOAE generators can differ in their susceptibility to neural suppression. Ears in which the TEOAE generating mechanism is less dependent on the ipsilateral evoking stimuli power level, are also naturally more susceptible to efferent suppression.
