Auditory FMRI of the Deaf

22nd March at 2pm

Stimulability of the auditory system is a prerequisite to successful cochlear implantation (CI). FMRI audiometry and promontory testing can demonstrate the integrity of the auditory system, even in virtually deaf CI candidates irrespective of their subjective hearing. These advanced FMRI applications are, in conjunction with each other and probabilistic tractography of the acoustic radiation, useful to decide i) which ear should host the CI and ii) whether a different device implanted at the brainstem or midbrain level should be considered. This talk illustrates actual decision-makings based on clinical cases.
