Brief Summary:
In search of the best possible outcome for the severe hearing impaired who have regained the ability to hear by means of a cochlear implant CI electrical stimulation and the information it carries should match as closely as possible to what the human brain naturally has evolved to cope with and learned to process instead of relying on plasticity to adapt to an induced mismatch At the moment however CIs are fitted with a one size fits all principle This is known to cause a mismatch between the frequencies presented by the CI electrode array and the frequencies represented at the corresponding natural acoustic location in an individual cochlea In this study it is hypothesized that an individual imaged based fitting that pursues natural hearing alignment and is implemented from the start of the rehabilitation process will improve the individual outcomes of electric hearing The natural fitting strategy is thought to give rise to a steeper learning curve result in a better performance in challenging listening situations improve sound quality complement better with residual acoustic hearing in the contralateral ear and win the preference of CI-recipients
