We compared the Failure Index method (Konerding et al., 2025) to the PECAP method (Garcia et al., 2021) in characterising the electrode-neuron interface in #cochlearimplant: doi.org/10.1121/10.0... @charlottegarcia.bsky.social

Signed difference between the control and adapted conditions for PECAP's neural-responsiveness estimate (left), the eCAP amplitudes (middle), and the FI (right) for all electrodes. Each electrode is numbered regarding the location of the pre-pulses (target electrode, red vertical dashed line). Only electrodes with data from at least 5 participants are shown. Thin light gray lines represent the seven individual participants; the solid black line represents the across-participant means, and the shaded regions represent ± 1 standard deviation. Asterisks (*) indicate electrodes for which the metric's signed difference metric differed significantly from zero across participants. (*p < α, α = 0.05/5 = 0.01.) Please refer to the full article for the figure intepretation.

We measured three neural responses (eCAP, eABR, eASSR) to stimulation with #cochlearimplant using the same stimulus to disentangle the effects of response type and of stimulus type on neural response properties: doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2025.109338

Results of three phase-locked neural responses (eCAP, eABR, eASSR) to stimulation with cochlear implants. Strong correlation between eCAP growth and eASSR growth (0.79), eCAP growth function slope and single-pulse stimulus inverse dynamic range (0.58), and eASSR gorwth function slope and its respective stimulus inverse dynamic range (0.61 - 0.71).

Our extended validation of the STRIPES test involves measuring STRIPES and webSTRIPES performance at different presentation levels in Med-El #cochlearimplant users: doi.org/10.1097/AUD.0000000000001676

Left panel: STRIPES stimuli. Upper panel (A): STRIPES stimuli at low density, consisting of three intervals of either downward sweeps or upward sweeps (the target). "Low density" means that the sweeps are presented with at a lower rate (e.g. 1 full sweep/second). Middle panel (B): STRIPES stimuli stimilar to A but at higher density (e.g. 3 full sweeps/second). C. Electrodograms of STRIPES stimuli.
Right panel: achieved STRIPES thresholds of 10 MED-EL and 3 Cochlear users (for comparison). Performance varied greatly between subjects. On average MED-EL users achieved STRIPES thresholds within the range from 3 to 4, and comparable scores across presentation levels. There were some learning effects in webSTRIPES performance before and after testing for standard STRIPES.

Our latest article pools data from 9 centres & shows how the PECAP Method characterises current spread in individual cochlear implant patients & how this varies based on electrode array geometries: doi.org/10.1097/AUD.... #cochlearimplant #personalisedhealthcare ‪@charlottegarcia.bsky.social‬

Alexis Deighton MacIntyre and Lidea Shahidi @mrccbu.bsky.social will explore the experimental control & generative capabilities of state-of-the-art speech synthesis to produce audiological testing materials and conduct evaluation to ensure fit for use in clinical tests to assess speech perception.
