The purpose of this study was to describe speech recognition performance for subjects using electrically evoked stapedial reflex thresholds (eSRT) based on programs with the HiResolution Bionic Ear system. A secondary goal was to evaluate the relationship of the electrically evoked compound action potentials (eCAP) as measured with neural response imaging (NRI) relative to the subjects' most comfortable stimulation levels (M levels). M levels, eSRT and eCAP thresholds were measured in 19 postlinguistically deafened adults using either a CII or HiRes 90K cochlear implant. The results showed that eSRTs could be measured easily in a majority of subjects, whereas eCAPS were measured in all subjects. There were close agreements between eSRTs and M levels in the subjects' behaviorally based programs. In contrast, the correspondence between M levels and eCAP thresholds was not as strong. New programs were created with M levels based on the eSRTs for 11 subjects. Programs created using eSRTs as a guide for setting levels yielded better speech recognition than programs using conventional behavioural measures of M levels. These data indicate that individuals can obtain strong benefits from cochlear implants using programs with stimulation levels based on objective measures.
