Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Perception threshold [Baseline, approximately 2 hours]
Evaluated by increasing the amplitude of the current input until the subject can hear a tone. The threshold will be recorded as the perception threshold at that electrode pair and frequency. Reported in hertz (Hz).
- Speech Intelligibility [Baseline, approximately 2 hours]
Measured using the modified rhyme test (MRT) consisting of a set of 50 six-item wordlist. Each word list contains single syllable words with a consonant-vowel-consonant sound sequence.
