Objective assays of human cochlear synaptopathy (CS) have been challenging to develop. It is suspected that relative summating potential (SP) changes are different in listeners with CS. In this proof-of-concept study, young, normal-hearing adults were recruited and assigned to a low/high-risk group for having CS based on their extended audiograms (9-16 kHz). SPs to paired-clicks with varying inter-click intervals isolated non-refractory receptor components of cochlear activity. Abrupt increases in SPs to paired- vs single-clicks were observed in high-risk listeners. Critically, exaggerated SPs predicted speech-in-noise and subjective hearing abilities, suggesting relative SP changes to rapid clicks might help identify putative synaptopathic listeners. |
