Abstract

Fitting in cochlear implants refers to the programming of the speech processor to ensure electrical stimulation delivered to the auditory nerve results in optimal hearing and cochlear implants have become more prevalent and sophisticated, the process of fitting has evolved from rudimentary threshold-based programming to a multidimensional patient centred process and has an extensive history that talks about it.
