    Abstract
    A major factor in the improved performance of cochlear implant patients has been the use of high stimulus rate speech processing strategies. While these strategies show clear clinical advantage, we know little of their long-term safety. Indeed, recent studies have indicated that high stimulus rates at intensities above clinical limits, can result in neural damage as a result of prolonged neuronal hyperactivity. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of chronic electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve at high rates, using intensities within clinical limits.
