Principles of speech processor fitting in the programme of rehabilitation of children after cochlear implantation

Artur Lorens, Lech Śliwa, Adam Walkowiak

Summary
In order for the child to achieve optimal benefit from rehabilitation after cochlear implantation, speech processor fitting must be performed repeatedly.
The initial objective of programming is to obtain a behavioural and comfortable loudness level for each electrode. The authors present methods of adjusting the speech processor electronically to the child´s individual electric current requirements, which have been developed and implemented in the Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing. Knowledge of these problems might be useful for otolaryngologists to understand the needs of implanted children better.
