N-of-m device users benefit less because not all channels fire each cycle

Evidence

Cochlear users were less likely to benefit from electrode deactivation than users of the other devices. As speculated earlier it could be that the n-of-m strategies used in the Cochlear device may be less sensitive to channel overlap effects because not all channels are stimulated in each cycle. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 2050
