The minimum age for cochlear implantation has been reduced to 12 months in an effort to provide auditory stimulation to children with hearing loss during early development. Because behavioral measures in such young children are limited, objective measures such as the electrically evoked compound action potential (EAP) from the auditory nerve are needed to facilitate measurement of stimulation level requirements. We assessed EAPs recorded by the Nucleus 24 neural response telemetry (NRT) system in children who underwent implantation between 12 and 24 months of age. We recorded EAPs in 37 such children (mean age at implantation, 18.1+/-3.6 months). The EAPs were of large amplitude, and thresholds fell between behavioral T and C levels. A correction factor applied to EAP thresholds provided useful predictions of T levels. The EAPs can be used to ensure that even very young children receive auditory stimulation with their cochlear implants upon device activation.
