Estimating User-Specific Current Spread and Neural Health Parameters in a Model of Hearing with Cochlear Implants
Abstract:
The hearing performance of cochlear implant users can be potentially improved by adjusting the coding strategies according to the patterns of current spread and neural health in the cochlea. These patterns are important for the development of better sound coding strategies, but they are user-specific and it can be overly time consuming to obtain in the clinical setting. In this research, we developed a method to estimate current spread and neural health in the implanted cochlea using a user-specific computational model. The results demonstrated the possibility of estimating the user-specific parameters in a model of hearing with cochlear implants using the basic psychophysical measurements.
