Background:

Temporal cues are crucial for speech understanding in cochlear implant (CI) users.
Current behavioral measures of temporal sensitivity are time-consuming and require participant cooperation.
Objective measures are needed to assess temporal sensitivity in CI users.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the use of electrically evoked auditory steady-state responses (EASSRs) as an objective tool for assessing temporal modulation sensitivity in CI users.
To correlate EASSR measures with behavioral modulation detection thresholds (MDTs).

Main Methods:

EASSRs were measured using amplitude-modulated pulse trains at 4 and 40 Hz on 12 electrode pairs in 5 CI participants.
Behavioral modulation sensitivity was assessed using modulation detection thresholds (MDTs) at a 20 Hz rate.
EASSR amplitudes and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) were analyzed in relation to MDTs.

Main Results:

EASSR amplitudes and SNRs were significantly correlated with behavioral MDTs.
Larger EASSRs corresponded to sites with better temporal modulation sensitivity.
This relationship was primarily driven by across-subject variability.

Conclusions:

EASSRs show potential as an objective, site-specific measure of temporal sensitivity for CI users.
This objective measure could aid in optimizing CI stimulation parameters for improved speech understanding.
Further research can validate EASSRs for clinical application in CI fitting.
