AB  - Cochlear implants have been shown to successfully provide profoundly deaf patients with auditory cues for speech discrimination. Furthermore, a number of safety studies using the Melbourne/Cochlear electrode array indicated that chronic electrical stimulation using charge-balanced biphasic current pulses and stimulus rates between 100 and 500 pulses per second (pps) do not result in additional spiral ganglion loss or general cochlear pathology.1-3 However, safe maximum levels for stimulus parameters (stimulus rate, charge per phase, charge density) have not yet been adequately defined.
