Preliminary neural response telemetry results

This paper describes the neural response telemetry (NRT) results obtained f rom the first 30 patients tested at this centre. One hundred per cent of pa tients tested intra-operatively had NRT responses on at least one electrode ; this compared to 82.4% of patients tested post-operatively. Reasonable co rrelations existed between post-operative NRT thresholds and psychophysical threshold and comfort levels, although there was too much variability for the data to be used to set these parameters directly. Post-operative NRT th resholds were always at levels audible to patients.
