Comodulation Masking Release induced by controlled electrical stimulation of auditory nerve fibers

► Comodulation masking release measurements in cochlear implant users. ► Masker components and target signal addressed to intra-cochlear electrodes. ► Realization: controlled channel specific stimulation (Nucleus Implant Communicator). ► Results: 66% of test subjects showed no CMR, 33% significant CMR. ► Etiology and duration of hearing loss pre-implantation were indicators for electrically induced CMR.
