Evaluating the Relationship Between Electrical Dynamic Range and Speech Perception Outcomes in Experienced Post-Lingually Deaf Adult Cochlear Implant Users: A Bicentric Study
EDR parameters did not emerge as independent predictors of speech recognition outcomes within this specific cohort. Speech therapy and rehabilitative efforts showed a significant relationship with improved performance, and speech audiogram curve morphology may offer a more specific clinical tool for assessing global CI performance. Further prospective studies with larger, more homogenous populations are required to validate these findings.
