Brain plasticity can make pitch-matching data misleadingly good in CI users

Evidence

There is substantial variability in all the measurements both within and between individual CI users. There are pros and cons for all the three methods and there is no gold standard to judge which one is better. 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
