Electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve in the profoundly deaf population through implanted cochlear prostheses has increased the need for reliable electrophysiologic assessment tools. We have recorded electrically evoked brainstem responses (EABRs) in 21 subjects who have received a 3M/House cochlear implant. Recordings have been made, both intraoperatively and postoperatively, in the laboratory setting. The recording technique, methods of stimulus artifact suppression, and results of our measurements are described. Clinical applications of this technology are suggested.

The present study describes technical prerequisites for soft palate reflex measurements and first results. Reflex measurements can be done using standard electromyographic methods. The data-processing system that records and processes the electromyographic signals was activated when the soft palate was stimulated by a newly developed device. The first results of objective soft palate reflex measurements in 15 healthy subjects show that the musculus levator veli palatini reacts to a mechanical stimulation of the soft palate with a contraction that can be measured electromyographicslly. The response latencies were constant in the individual subjects. In 12 subjects a minimum of 30 ms and a maximum of 61 ms was recorded. In one healthy subject, the reflex was activated only after 167 ms. No reflex could be evoked in two subjects. The stimulus was always supraliminal. Reaction time was longer following surface anesthesia of the oral mucosa.

Stimulation Of

Electrical stimulation of the ear in humans was performed with an extracochlear electrode on the round window. With positive currents, suppression of tinnitus could be induced. With negative currents, auditory sensations were evoked. Since electrical stimulation with DC currents may be hazardous in the long term, it cannot yet be proposed for the suppression of tinnitus. However, electrically evoked hearing sensations with AC currents seem to be of definite interest for some totally deaf patients.

1. The rate of protein synthesis in quadriceps muscle of healthy subjects estimated from the incorporation of l-[1-13C]leucine given by continuous infusion was 1.1%/day. The estimate of protein synthesis from the incorporation of a flooding amount of labelled leucine was 1.8%/day (sd 0.65). The possibility that the higher rate obtained with the flooding technique arose from stimulation of protein synthesis by the large amount of leucine is unlikely. 2. The same rate of protein synthesis (1.7%/day, sd 0.3) was obtained with a flooding amount (0.05 g/kg) of a different amino acid, l-[1-13C]phenylalanine, as was obtained with leucine. 3. Incorporation of l-[1-13C]phenylalanine was not affected by simultaneous injection of leucine (1.7%/day, sd 0.7) or valine (1.6%/day, sd 0.4). 4. Protein synthesis, assessed in a completely different way from the proportion of polyribosomes isolated from the skeletal muscle, was unaltered by the injection of 0.05 g of l-leucine/kg (44.6%, sd 8.5 versus 43.8%, sd 7.7). 5. Good agreement in estimates of protein synthesis was observed in subjects in whom both legs were measured with both l-[1-13C]leucine (mean difference 0.16%/day) and l-[1-13C]phenylalanine (mean difference 0.2%/day).
