Investigating the effect of cochlear implant usage metrics on cortical auditory-evoked potential responses in adult recipients post-implantation

Additionally, most (65.85%) participants who previously exhibited absent acoustic CAEP responses developed eCAEP responses after consistent CI use and increased CI experience. These findings may suggest a potential for cortical plasticity and adaptation with consistent CI use over time. Recognizing the impact of device usage metrics on neural responses post-implantation enhances our understanding of the importance of consistent daily CI use. Overall, these findings contribute to addressing the variability among CI users, improving post-operative outcomes and advancing the standard of personalized care in auditory rehabilitation.
