CI Programming

Cochlear Implant (CI) programming (often called mapping) includes, but is not limited to the following:


 * Measure Impedance


 * Measure Comfort Levels (via loudness scales)


 * Measure Threshold Levels (via patient response to presented tones)
 * Adjust Pulse Width
 * Adjust Stimulation Rate
 * Neural Response Telemetry (common for pediatric population or difficult to test adults)


 * Programs for different listening environments

The three primary CI manufacturers have individual software that allow for varying ability in programming.

Programming changes occur based on patient report and outcome measures obtained during the appointment.
