Implication

Correction of electro-electrical mismatch improves pitch discrimination and speech perception in patients with bilateral cochlear implants, indicating potential benefits of psycho-acoustic fitting.

Key Points

Significant improvements in speech perception and pitch discrimination were observed after correcting the mismatch using psycho-acoustic fitting.
The mean number of electrode mismatches was 8.5 ± 5.6 among the 24 patients enrolled in the study.
Psycho-acoustic fitting demonstrated a marked reduction in speech reception threshold one month post-implementation, while improvements remained stable after three months.
Music abilities, assessed through various tests, also showed significant enhancement following electro-electrical mismatch correction.
