Abstract
We have previously described non-damaging stimulus levels for chronic intracochlear electrical stimulation (Shepherd et al, 1983). However, maximum safe stimulus levels have yet to be clearly defined. Moreover, the importance of various stimulus parameters and their effects on the auditory nerve is not well understood. In the present study we have examined the effects of stimulus repetition rate on the auditory nerve by monitoring the Electrically-evoked Auditory Brainstem Response (EABR). Such information is necessary if speech processing strategies incorporating high pulse rates (i.e. > 300 pps) are to be made available to cochlear implant patients.
