经颅直流电刺激（tDCS）可以改变皮层兴奋性，并已有效地治疗一些神经系统疾病。本病例报告描述了一名13岁女性在6岁时脑干脑炎后出现双侧听力障碍，使用tDCS。她右耳的听觉功能比左耳受损更严重。每天一次，连续4天，对左侧听觉皮层施加阳极刺激（1 mA）10 min，以改善她的右耳言语辨别评分。在四次tDCS治疗后观察到最大言语辨别力的持续和显著改善。据我们所知，这是第一个病例报告，改善语音识别后，阳极刺激听觉皮层。这些结果鼓励进一步研究tDCS对听力障碍患者的有益影响。
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can alter cortical excitability, and has been effective in treating some neurological disorders. This case report describes the use of tDCS in a 13-year-old female who developed bilateral hearing impairment after brainstem encephalitis when she was 6 years old. Her auditory function was more impaired in her right ear than her left. Anodal stimulation (1 mA) was applied for 10 min to the left auditory cortex once per day for 4 consecutive days to improve her right ear speech discrimination score. Sustained and significant improvement in maximum speech discrimination was observed after the four tDCS treatments. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of improvement in speech discrimination after anodal stimulation of the auditory cortex. These results encourage further studies investigating the beneficial effects of tDCS in patients with hearing impairments.
