Abstract

Acoustically elicited stapedial reflex in cochlear implanted patients

Highlights

  • The method of registration of the stapedial reflex in a response to electrical stimuli are used in the fitting of cochlear implant

  • We switched on a speech processor at working program and placed it under the circumaural embouchure of headphone TDH-3 through which we presented a sound stimuli

  • As can be seen from the graphs there is a wide range of individual values of the threshold levels of the stapedial reflex on sound stimuli in the examined patients

Summary

Introduction

The method of registration of the stapedial reflex in a response to electrical stimuli are used in the fitting of cochlear implant. The most comfortable loudness (MCL) levels of the working program are higher than threshold levels of the stapedial reflex [1,2]. It is interesting to look at the reflex from the opposite point of view, namely, to investigate the stapedial reflex on sound stimuli in experienced implanted patients configured optimally. The aim of this study is the investigation of the stapedial reflex in a response to acoustic stimuli of low, medium and high frequencies
