    Abstract

    The effect of the stimulation intensity (current amplitude) on the ability to discriminate electrodes was tested in an experiment with four adult users of the Nucleus-22 cochlear implant. A total of 12 adjacent pairs of electrodes were used in the four-interval forced-choice discrimination task with random current variation. Tests were carried out at three average stimulation levels: 40 and 70% of the dynamic range and close to maximum comfortable loudness. Analysis of variance revealed a significant (P
