Abstract
Recording electrical auditory brainstem responses (EABR) provides clin ical insight about responses of the residual post-cochlear neural syst em to electrical stimulation in profoundly deaf patients. A new strate gy is presented for stimulating patients already implanted with a 15-e lectrode cochlear implant. Since the device is fully re-programmable v ia a RS-232 PC interface, it was possible to load a specific stimulati ng strategy designed to improve the spatial locus and the temporal str ucture of the impulse stimulation. Waves III to V emerge more clearly when this method is applied.
