Recording electrical auditory brainstem responses (EABR) provides clinical insight about responses of the residual post-cochlear neural system to electrical stimulation in profoundly deaf patients. A new strategy is presented for stimulating patients already implanted with a 15-electrode cochlear implant. Since the device is fully re-programmable via a RS-232 PC interface, it was possible to load a specific stimulating strategy designed to improve the spatial locus and the temporal structure of the impulse stimulation. Waves III to V emerge more clearly when this method is applied.
