Evaluating and Comparing Behavioural and Electrophysiological Estimates of Neural Health in Cochlear Implant Users

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Evaluating and Comparing Behavioural and Electrophysiological Estimates of Neural Health in Cochlear Implant Users Via JARO - Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology via MedWorm.com AbstractVariations in neural health along the cochlea can degrade the spectral and temporal representation of sounds conveyed by cochlear implants (CIs). We evaluated and compared one electrophysiological measure and two behavioural measures that have been proposed as estimates of neural health patterns, in order to explore the extent to which the different measures provide converging and consistent neural health estimates. All measures were obtained from the same 11 users of the Cochlear Corporation CI. The two behavioural measures were multipulse integration (MPI) and the polarity effect (PE), both measured on each of seven electrodes per subject. MPI was measured as the difference between thresholds at 80  pps and 1000 pps, and PE as the difference in thresholds between cathodic- and ... View on the web Inoreader.
