  • Title: [Changes in the hearing and discomfort thresholds in patients with the Clark/nucleus inner ear prosthesis].
    Author: Battmer RD, Lehnhardt E, Laszig R.
    Journal: Laryngol Rhinol Otol (Stuttg); 1988 Aug; 67(8):412-5. PubMed ID: 3210875.
    Abstract:
    The Nucleus 22-electrode cochlear implant should be fitted individually for both pitch and loudness. Loudness is related to the charge delivered, and is usually controlled by current amplitude. In special cases the loudness may be influenced by stimulation mode and pulse width. 3 examples demonstrate optimal fitting with low current intensities, using these possibilities. In addition the threshold level and comfortable level date were analysed over a 2-year period. No significant changes were found, indicating that electrical stimulation caused no damage to the remaining auditory nerve fibres.
