Acoustic Masking of Electric Stimulation at Basal and Extra-Cochlear Sites

Cochlear implant (CI) candidates with residual low frequency hearing increasingly receive hearing preserving electrode arrays to enable electric acoustic stimulation (EAS). However, assessing very low frequency hearing in newborns and young children remains difficult. Previous work has shown that acoustic stimulation can mask electrically evoked auditory percepts when stimulation sites are…
