Methods: Patients with Med El Sonata or Pulsar implants underwent acute programming for a pair of reduced frequency maps (70-1500 Hz). One map possessed only the HDCIS strategy, containing information about the envelope component of sound. The other contained both HDCIS and FSP strategies, providing additional information regarding the fine structure for lower frequencies. Maps were loaded into the processor randomly, with both the tester and the subject blinded to the use of each map. For each map, instrument identification (timbre), vowel perception, and music quality were assessed.
