Acclimatization to implant frequency maps can inflate pitch-matching accuracy

Evidence

The acclimatization to the frequency to place map of the patient’s CI seems unignorably in the pitch perception. Pitch matching data may be ‘misleadingly good’ because of acclimatization or brain plasticity which does not affect the IPTD and the BIC based matching. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1471

• QUESTION: Worth chasing: if acclimatization corrupts pitch matching but not BIC/IPD measures, pitch matching may be overtrusted clinically.
