Pediatric cochlear implantation: The impact of frequency-to-place mismatch after a three-year follow-up
Children with <7 semitones of fequency-to-place mismatch showed better, though non-significant, outcomes across multiple measures-including SDS, CAP, and SF-AT-and a significant difference in SIR. Despite no significant linear correlations overall, these findings suggest that specific mismatch levels may still influence outcomes after three years of CI use. Future studies should investigate whether tonotopic-based mapping improves speech perception and overall auditory performance in young CI users.
