Abstract
Presented herein are objective techniques for determining the upper limit of the dynamic range (i.e., the comfort level) of implanted stimulating contacts through the use of electrocochleography (ECoG) measurements to indirectly detect the onset and duration of a recipient's stapedius reflex. In particular, stimulation is delivered to a recipient's cochlea to trigger the onset of the stapedius reflex and the resulting acoustic impedance change is detected by monitoring the acoustically evoked ECoG.
