Abstract
The results of recording threshold levels of the stapedial reflex in response to electrical stimuli are widely used in fitting of a cochlear implant (CI). As a rule, the maximum comfortable levels (MCL) of the loudness of the working (daily) program in the vast majority of patients are above the threshold levels of the stapedial reflex. It is of theoretical interest to look at the stapedial reflex from the opposite side, namely, to study the reflex to sound stimuli in experienced CI patients. The aim of this study is to study the stapedial reflex in response to acoustic stimuli of low, medium and high frequencies. It was found that the threshold levels of reflex to sound stimuli in CI patients are in the range of subjects with normal hearing. The results are discussed from the point of view of processing the intensity of the audio signal.
