We present a case report of effective cochlear implantation for an adult patient with auditory neuropathy. A 34-year-old man developed bilateral hearing loss at approximately 10 years of age. His speech discrimination score was very severe despite only moderate sensorineural hearing loss. Absence of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) and preservation of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) were confirmed by our audiological examinations. After cochlear implantation, good responses for electrically evoked compound action potential (EAP) and electrically evoked ABR (EABR) were observed. Postoperatively, his audiological performance was significantly improved. We conclude that cochlear implantation can be a valid option for patients with auditory neuropathy.
