title: Measurement of the electrically evoked compound action potential via a neural response telemetry system.
abstract: The main aim of this study was to validate a new technique, neural response telemetry (NRT), for measuring the electrically evoked compound action potential in adult cochlear implant users via their Nucleus C124M implant. Thirty-eight adults were evaluated with a variety of measurement procedures with the NRT software. Electrically evoked compound action potentials were obtained in 31 of the 38 adults (81.6%) and in 132 of the 160 electrodes (82.5%) tested. In addition to validating this technique, we also established a set of default clinical test parameters.
