For cochlear implant fitting, behavioral fitting methods are considered standard practice. Stimulation levels of each channel are gradually adjusted until the recipient confirms the threshold (THR) and most comfortable levels (MCL) of stimulation. This method is commonly used and can be considered very effective for many patients. However, this subjective method relies heavily on the

One potential side effect of cochlear implantation is facial nerve stimulation (FNS) or other non-auditory stimulation (NAS). Reported occurrences of FNS for cochlear implant recipients ranges from ~1–10%, and can occur regardless of implant brand. Facial nerve stimulation can be difficult to manage, as it often requires reducing stimulation levels or deactivating electrodes—and hearing outcomes

For a person with hearing loss, it can take years to find the right hearing aid. There are endless variations of form, features, and fitting parameters. Of course, there’s also significant cost to changing to a new hearing aid. For cochlear implant candidates, this is an especially important consideration. Many unilateral cochlear implant recipients will

The benefit for you? AutoART automatically and reliably determines precise ECAP thresholds for each available electrode channel. That means you won’t have to spend any time or effort analyzing amplitude growth curves or other ECAP data. Of course, if you’d like to see more, the detailed ECAP data is always available.
