摘要
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.
