Abstract

In the previous article [1], we briefly described the procedure for the first switch on and the first session of fitting of the Med-El cochlear implant. After the first session, the patient has 4 programs in the speech processor with increasing comfortable levels (C-levels) in the sequential MAPs. C-levels – comfortable levels - are the maximum current levels recorded in any channel of any program. The C-levels of the second program are based on the results obtained by the program SHCHUP [2,3].
