[Objective methods of fitting speech processors of cochlear implants Combi-40/40+ and Tempo+: impedance technique].
Impedance measurement as an objective method of hearing examination is widely used in cochlear implantation. Stapedial reflex is measured intraoperatively and during the procedure of cochlear implant fitting. It was found that reflex threshold levels and most comfortable levels vary significally in one patient and between all patients. Thus, reflexometry is a convenient method of fitting speech processors of cochlear implants in children but the subjective method of fitting is more effective.
