Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary study parameters are the differences in response between pairs of CI electrodes. The response in case of the EEG measurement (passive task) is the neural power at frequencies of interest, determined by the two stimulation patterns of the two CI electrodes. For the reaction-time method (active task), the response is the manual response-reaction-time to a perceived change in the sound. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary study parameter is the correlation between outcomes of the speech and spectro-temporal modulation tests as determined with the App and with the standard lab test methods. Further study parameters are the electrode impedances and eCAPs. | — |
