A low-frequency acoustic stimulus was applied to the right mastoid, the right acromion and the distal phalanx of the right index finger in 10 healthy and 10 profoundly deaf subjects. The stimulus, which had a frequency of 80-120 Hz, was delivered by means of a special vibrating system, constructed for this purpose. The frequency-following response (FFR) was recorded. In all the healthy subjects, FFR appeared with a latency of about 6 ms from the stimulus onset and with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.3-1.2 microV. Also, in all the deaf subjects, a change in bioelectrical activity was recorded, which reproduced the stimulus frequency at a latency of about 6 ms and with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.3-1.2 microV. Afferent pathways by which the stimulus could be transmitted in deaf subjects are discussed.
对10名健康受试者和10名极重度聋人受试者的右侧乳突、右侧肩峰和右手食指远端指骨施加低频声刺激。刺激频率为80 - 120赫兹,通过为此专门构建的特殊振动系统施加。记录频率跟随反应(FFR)。在所有健康受试者中,FFR在刺激开始后约6毫秒出现潜伏期,峰峰值幅度为0.3 - 1.2微伏。此外,在所有聋人受试者中,也记录到生物电活动的变化,其在约6毫秒潜伏期再现刺激频率,峰峰值幅度为0.3 - 1.2微伏。文中讨论了在聋人受试者中刺激可能通过的传入通路。
