Abstract:
:Background: A set of Chinese Mandarin monosyllable test lists has been widely used in clinical diagnosis, while the performance of the Mandarin-speaking patients with auditory neuropathy (AN) in the monosyllable tests was still unknown.Objectives: To analyze the characteristics of monosyllable recognition in Mandarin-speaking patients with AN.Materials and methods: Nineteen Mandarin-speaking patients diagnosed with AN were recruited to obtain the performance-intensity (P-I) functions. They were divided into two paired groups according to two conditions: (1) the rising-slope (RS) and the non-rising-slope pattern (NRS) group for the audiogram; or (2) the male and the female group for gender.Results: The performance at 20 and 30 dB SL showed negative correlation with the pure tone-averaged thresholds of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kHz (4FA). We found significant differences between the P-I functions of the RS and the NRS group, and surprisingly found that between the male and female as well although there was no difference in 4FA between the paired groups. A notable rollover phenomenon in P-I functions was detected in each group.Conclusions: The monosyllable recognition scores of Mandarin-speaking AN patients showed numerous particular characteristics reflected by P-I functions. Acquiring the complete P-I functions at multiple presentation levels and the rollover index may give us more information about the diagnosis and prognosis.
