Abstract
This work provides information of great value for programming the speech processors, particularly when the subjective responses of the patients are not sufficient. The application in our ENT Service has reduced substantially the average time needed to obtain an acceptable fitting of the processor, especially in children. Our study also shows that electrical thresholds are a good indicator of the functionality of the auditory nerve. The analysis of this parameter highlights the importance of an early intervention as well as a deep insertion of the electrode carrier in order to obtain the maximum functionality from the cochlear implant.
