Thus various objective measures such as electrical auditory brainstem response (EABR), electrical stapedial reflex (ESR), electrical compound action potential (ECAP), and electrical middle latency response (EMLR) have been developed for use as a reference for the behavioral measures. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between EABR and ECAP thresholds and behavioral T/C levels in pediatric cochlear implant users. Subjects and Method：Twenty children implanted with the Nucleus CI24M, who had at least 12 months of follow up, were participated in this study. Mean age of children at implantation was 4 years 7 months. EABR and ECAP thresholds were measured 3-4 weeks after implantation and compared with behavioral T/C levels obtained about 1 year after implantation. Results：On average, EABR and ECAP thresholds were shown to fall between behavioral T and C level. Significant but somewhat loose correlations were found between EABR and ECAP thresholds and behavioral T/C levels (r<0.6, p=0.0001). However correlation between electrophysiologic thresholds and behavioral measures in each individual was much stronger. Conclusion：These results suggest that EABR and ECAP thresholds could be used to estimate behavioral T/C levels and help to program the speech processor in very young children.

Despite of its weaknesses, the tree model is at the base of all global or particular language lists. Distinguishing common heritage from subsequent borrowing is a matter of hot debates in all parts of the world. This contribution challenges the universal validity of this paradigm. Genealogical trees are based on divergent evolutions, leading to the formation of new species. But this biological metaphor has its limits when applied to language. The formation of a new language is only a “pseudo-speciation” (Ericson), communication remains possible even after the split, and convergence may counterbalance the effects of divergence at any moment. The evolutionary model of Indo-European does work in some cases, but not in all.
