    Abstract
    Previous experimental studies have shown that chronic electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve using charge balanced biphasic current pulses at rates of up to 500 pulses per second (pps) do not adversely affect the adjacent spiral ganglion population. More recently, a number of clinical trials have indicated that speech processing strategies based on high pulse rates (1000 pps and more), can further improve speech perception. In this paper we summarize our results following acute and chronic electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve using high pulse rates.
