We have studied the prediction of behavioral threshold and comfort values for 11 patients who use the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant by means of the results of electrical auditory brain stem response (EABR) procedures. For prediction purposes, EABR and behavioral testing were done in the same electrode mode configuration for three specific electrodes. The results of this investigation suggest that EABR threshold current level is consistently near the behavioral comfort current level, rather than the patient's behavioral threshold level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
