Résumé : Hearing rehabilitation with cochlear implant (CI) during Auditory Neuropathy/ Dyssynchrony (AN/AD) appears to be a challenge: one of the clinical characteristics of the disease is the loss of effective neural conduction as demonstrated by desynchronisation on Auditory brainstem Response (ABR). Clinical facts demonstrated that in that condition CI could restore speech perception as in other cause of profound sensorineural hearing loss. By now CI devices gives the opportunity to measure neural responses and electrically evoked ABR, in order to determine correlation between clinical responses and electrophysiologic data. Given the variability of causes of AN/AD, each case should be individually evaluated before cochlear implantation.
