Abstract:
This paper reviews characteristics of both the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP) and analogous measures of cortically evoked responses (CAEP) to electrical stimulation in cochlear implant users. Specific comparisons are made between the two levels of processing for measures of threshold, growth of responses with increasing stimulus level, changes in stimulation electrode and, finally, in temporal response properties. The results are interpreted in a context that ECAPs primarily reflect the characteristics of the electrode-neural interface for an individual ear. CAEPs clearly are dependent on those peripheral responses but also reflect differences in central processing among individual implant users. The potential applicability of combined measures in clinical situations is discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled
