Effectively Managing Facial Nerve Stimulation: Triphasic Pulses
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
