Abstract
The use of the term ’’auditory neuropathy’’ has probably steered clinicians away from considering cochlear implantation in the past , as a ’’neuropathy’’ usually implies abnormal neural function and leads to the assumption that a cochlear implant is unlikely to be successful.
However, since2000 a number of studies have been published indicating that some patients diagnosed with AN did benefit from cochlear implantation.
In these cases, it was not predicted before the opeation whether or not the patients were likely to experience success.
Some recent studies have shown that patients identified with AnN show abnormal results on tests evaluating temporal processing , therefore suggesting ’’dys-synchronous’’ auditory activity.
