본 연구의 목적은 반려견의 행복한 삶 영위를 위한 반려견의 입장 이해이다. 반려견의 정서에 감각 자극이 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 실험과 설문 조사가 진행되었다. 감각은 시각, 청각, 후각, 촉각, 복합으로, 정서는 깊은 수면의 비율, 사료 섭취량, 심박 수로 나누어서 측정되었다. 연구 결과, 반려견의 정서에 복합 자극(산책)이 가장 긍정적이지만, 시각 자극과 청각 자극은 평소 상태에 긍정적인 변화를 주는 자극으로 크게 작용하지 않는다. 후각 자극은 복합 자극 다음으로 정서에 긍정적인 감각 자극이다. 반려견의 상태에 큰 편차 없이 평온한 상태를 유지하는 데 효과적인 후각 자극은 복합 자극을 할 수 없는 예외 상황에서 반려견의 스트레스 해소 방법으로 활용될 수 있다. 한편, 촉각 자극인 목욕은 반려견 대부분에게 수면 과다증과 폭식을 유발하는 부정적 감각 자극이다.

Background and Objectives The present study aimed to compare receptive and expressive language development in children who have undergone simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation (SCI) and those who have undergone bimodal stimulation (unilateral CI+ hearing aid). Subjects and Method In a retrospective analysis of clinical data, 15 pediatric patients who have received SCI and nine patients who have received bimodal stimulation (BM group) were enrolled. CI was performed for all patients at 24 months of age. Category of Auditory Performance (CAP) scores, Infant-Toddler Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (IT-MAIS) scores, and developmental quotients (DQ) for expressive and receptive language were compared between the groups at 12 month of follow-up. The Percentage of Consonants Correct (PCC) of children evaluated at 4 years old was also compared. Results At 12 months of follow-up, significantly greater improvements in CAP scores (${\Delta}4.25{\pm}0.5$) were noted in the SCI group compared to the BM group (${\Delta}3.56{\pm}0.88$, p=0.041). Significantly greater improvements in IT-MAIS scores were also noted in the SCI group (${\Delta}36.17{\pm}4.09$) than in the BM group (${\Delta}30.17{\pm}2.91$, p=0.004). The DQ of receptive language was higher in the SCI group than in the BM group ($87.6{\pm}15.4%$ vs. $75.5{\pm}12.0%$, p=0.023) at 12 months of follow-up. Moreover, early SCI was associated with better receptive language skills. PCC index of children at 4 years old was higher in the SCI group than in the BM group ($88.5{\pm}13.2%$ vs. $62{\pm}15.8%$, p=0.014). Earlier SCI was associated with even greater improvements. Conclusion Bilateral SCI is associated with significant improvements in language development when compared with bimodal stimulation. Earlier SCI was associated with better outcomes.

The human baby appears to be born with preexistent knowledge of language. This specialized neural structure in the brain awaits auditory experience with language to trigger it into functioning. The auditory-linked acquisition of language is a time-locked function related to early maturational periods in the infant's life. The longer auditory language stimulation is delayed, the less efficient the language facility will be. It is for these reasons that it is urgent to fight the hearing problems of children with all the skill, knowledge and insights of which we are capable, the so called 'rehabilitative process'. An understanding of the timetable and the origin of prenatal to early life development of auditory mechanism will help in planning the aural rehabilitation. Further interests and studies are needed to establish the systematic structure of rehabilitative audiology.

Tinnitus is a prevalent disorder that has no cure currently. Within the last two decades, neuroscientific research has facilitated a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the generation and maintenance of tinnitus, and the brain and nerves have been identified as potential targets for its treatment using non-invasive brain stimulation methods. This article reviews studies on tinnitus patients using transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial electrical stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation, alternating current stimulation, transcranial random noise stimulation as well as transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation and bimodal combined auditory and somatosensory stimulation. Although none of these approaches has demonstrated effects that would justify its use in routine treatment, the studies have provided important insights into tinnitus pathophysiology. Moreover bimodal stimulation, which has only been developed recently, has shown promising results in pilot trials and is a candidate for further development into a valuable treatment procedure.

전기자극을 이용한 청각시스템의 진단 및 치료방법에 대하여 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔으나 전기자극이 청각 시스템을 통하여 전달되어지는 과정에 대한 이해가 부족하였기 때문에 표준화된 방법이나 이론적인 배경이 없이 자극조건이 선택되어져 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실험동물에 이명을 유발시킨 상태에서 전기자극이 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 ABRrhk ECochG의 변화를 통해서 관찰하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 9마리의 guinea pig를 Jastreboff 이명 유발 모델에 다라 salicylate를 이용하여 이명을 유발시킨후 전기자극을 가한 5마리를 실험군(A) 으로하고, 대조군(B)으로는 전기자극을 가하지 않은 4마리의 guinea pig를 대상으로 실험을 실시하였다. 실험조건은 이명유발 이전과 이명유발 1시간, 6시간, 12시간 후로 구분하였고, 각 실험조건에서 ABR과 ECochG를 검출하여 각 파형을 rms 값을 기준으로 정규화한 후 자기상관계수를 계산하여 전기자극을 인가하였을 때의 값들의 변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 ABR의 경우에는 이명이 유발된 상태에서 6시간 이후의변수 갑싱 급격히 증가하였다가 12시간이 되면서 최초의 상태로 돌아가고, 전기자극을 인가하였을 때는 이명유발 이전 상태에서의 값을 계속 유지하고 있었다. 그리고, ECochG의 경우에는 전기자극의 효과가 12시간 이후에 나타남을 확인하였다. 즉, 본 실험을 통하여 이명유발 모델에 전기자극을 인가하였을 때의 효과를 ABR과 ECochG 상관분석을 통하여 확인하였다.

Objective : Audio-evoked potential is technique used for measuring brain functions such as memory, attention, and concentration. Although a number of studies on acupuncture for pain, there are few reports on the effect of acupuncture cognitive function. Methods : Fifteen healthy volunteers with no neurological condition took part of the study. $(23.27{\pm}2.09)$. In this study, we examined the changes in auditory P300 by acupuncture stimulation to 'Oegwan' on the left hand. Auditory P300 was recorded before, during and after acupuncture. The amplitude and latency of P300 at Fz, Cz, Pz point were calculated. Results : Auditory P300 amplitude decreased during and after acupuncture, but there was no statistical significance.(P< .05) Auditory P300 latency significantly decreased during and after acupuncture.(P< .05) Conclusions : The decrease of Auditory P300 latency time suggests that acupuncture at Oegwan has some effects on the cognitive function.

Psychoacoustic characteristics of automobile horns play significant role in resulting subjective evaluation and psychphysiological reactions. However, comparison and differentiation of physiological responses to commercially available horns is a complicated task due to the small contrast in technical features of horns and the influence of such processes as habituation on physiological outcome with the increased number of auditory stimulation trials. In a study on 10 college students, there was performed comparative analysis of reactivity of physiological responses mediated by central and autonomic nervous systems in order to identify the role of habituation on decrement of psychophysiological responsivity and assess the ability to differentiate subjectively most and least preferred, as well as most and least appropriate horns according to physiological manifestations. The EEG and autonomic responses to 7 automobile horns were analyzed during 3 blocks of trials, with varying order of stimuli and changed acoustic parameters of horns in each block. Thus, responses were analyzed for totally 21 trials of auditory stimulation. It was shown that electrodermal and cardiovascular responses have different reactivity patterns to repeated stimulation: skin conductance measures habituated, cardiac reactivity showed no signs of habituation, and the vascular response demonstrated sensitization. The temporal EEG exhibited marked habituation of fast beta band power, while alpha-blocking effect did not habituate during the course of experiment. Differentiation of physiological responses of most and least preferred and appropriate horns was possible in our study, however, some cardiovascular reactivity measures differentiated during the entire course of the experiment, while EEG and electrodermal parameters showed significant differences only during first block of trials, and were later affected by the habituation.

The Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) with a click stimulation in guinea pigs was used to examine the auditory neuro-pathway from the cochlear nucleus to brain. Using multi-channel active electrodes, the 3-dimensional auditory pathway was examined from the cochlea to the inferior colliculus through the brainstem. These results are similar to the well-known neuro-pathway. This study on the multi-channel ABR shows that the positions of the ABR generators move to the central brain and the contralateral pathway. It is generally agreed that the ABR is generated by some structures along the auditory pathway. This study provides some information on the neuro-pathway where the ABR peak is generated.

This paper represents the role of pinna in localizing target direction. Specially, this paper described what is the role of right-side pinna versus left-side pinna. In this experiment, one side of the pinna function was distorted intentionally by inserting a short tube on the ear canal. The localization error caused by right and left side pinna distortion was investigated. Since a laser pointer showed much less error (0.5%) in localizing target position than FASTRAK (30%) that has been generally used, it was used for the pointing task. It was found that harmonic components were not essential for the auditory target localization, however, non-harmonic nearby frequency components were more important to localize target direction of sound. We have found that the right pinna is one of the most important functions in localizing target direction and pure tone with only one frequency component is confusing for localization.
