An improved method of obtaining electrocochleography recordings from Nucleus Hybrid cochlear implant users.

ABSTRACT: Interest in electrocochleography (ECoG) has recently resurged as a potential tool to assess peripheral auditory function in cochlear implant (CI) users. ECoG recordings can be evoked using acoustic stimulation and recorded from an extra- or intra-cochlear electrode in CI users. Recordings reflect contributions from cochlear hair cells and the auditory nerve. We recently demonstrated the feasibility of using Custom Sound EP (clinically available software) to record ECoG responses in Nucleus Hybrid CI users with preserved acoustic hearing in the implanted ear (Abbas et al, 2017). While successful, the recording procedures were time intensive, limiting clinical applications. The current report describes how we improved data collection efficiency by writing custom software using Python program
