Development of the evoked auditory brain stem response amplitude peak IV during chronic electrical, intracochlear, multichannel high-rate stimulation.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of high stimulation rates on the developing auditory system.


METHODS
Neonatally deafened kittens with human intracochlear electrode implants received sustained electric stimulation.


CONCLUSIONS
No loss of brain stem responses was observed.
