Effect of stimulation levels on speech recognition and auditory threshold performance

3 March 2021 | | Auditory Implants | Auditory Perception, Auditory Threshold, Cochlear Implant, Loudness Perception, Psychoacoustics, Speech Perception

When programming a Cochlear® device, two measurements are normally assessed. T levels relate to the quietest sound the CI user can hear i.e. thresholds, and C levels are comfortable levels which are tolerable for the CI user. If these levels...

eSRTs versus eCAP: Which is better?

1 October 2018 | | Auditory Implants, Otology | ART, Cochlear implant, MED-EL, Pediatric, Slope, Threshold, eCAP, eSRT

Electrically evoked compound action potentials (eCAP) and electrically evoked stapedius reflex threshold (eSRT) techniques were compared to establish how well the two techniques correlated and which yielded quicker results in a group of paediatric cochlear implant (CI) users. This team...
