Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Perception threshold	Baseline, approximately 2 hours	Evaluated by increasing the amplitude of the current input until the subject can hear a tone. The threshold will be recorded as the perception threshold at that electrode pair and frequency. Reported in hertz (Hz).
Speech Intelligibility	Baseline, approximately 2 hours	Measured using the modified rhyme test (MRT) consisting of a set of 50 six-item wordlist. Each word list contains single syllable words with a consonant-vowel-consonant sound sequence.
