The Interphase Gap Effect in Cochlear Implant Users: Biological Basis, Parameter Selection, Analytical Methods, and Quantitative Scales
The IPG effect primarily reflects the number of active CN fibers rather than their health. Stimulation level offset and the IPG effect on maximum slope are robust indicators of CN fiber counts in CI users and are unaffected by the choice of quantitative scale.
