Popis: | To obtain hearing benefits after cochlear implantation it is crucial to optimally fit the system to the individual need of each patient (Wasowski et al., 2004). Great variability between patients and changes in optimal values that can be observed in time make this a difficult task. To assure optimal fitting of the system, fitting procedure that contains psychophysics and objective measurements was introduced in the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing. However, it is still very interesting to find out how non-optimal fitting may influence hearing benefits. |
