The goal of this study was to model a cochlear implant fitting protocol based on the electrically evoked whole nerve action potential (EAP) measured using the Neural Response Telemetry capabilities of the Nucleus C124M cochlear implant. The model and data were based on the significant correlations found between the EAP threshold and growth function slope and psychophysical threshold and, dynamic range, respectively, in 12 subjects (Franck, Reference Note 3; Franck & Norton, 2001).
