Cochlear dead regions: Using the Threshold Equalising Noise (TEN) test to improve the assessment of potential cochlear implant candidates – The Oxford experience

Abstract

The Threshold Equalising Noise (TEN) test can be used to detect cochlear dead regions

Patients with cochlear dead regions may gain limited benefit from conventional amplification

The TEN test can be used to assess selected cochlear implant candidates who do not meet pure tone audiometry criteria for implantation

Our patients with cochlear dead regions had good outcomes following cochlear implantation
