Frequency-to-Place Mismatch and Cochlear Implant Outcomes by Electrode Type.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Speech recognition outcomes with a cochlear implant (CI) are highly variable. One factor suggested to correlate with CI-aided speech recognition is frequency-to-place mismatch, or the discrepancy between the natural tonotopic organization of the cochlea and the electric frequency allocation of the CI electrodes within the patient's cochlea.

Objective

To evaluate the association between frequency-to-place mismatch and speech recognition outcomes in a large cohort of postlingually deafened adult CI users, while controlling for various clinical factors known to be associated with those outcomes.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study used data from a CI program at a tertiary medical center and included CIs from postlingually deafened
