I'll probably be coming here to ask a lot.. my audiologist here hasn't really

had that much experience since there aren't too many in Alaska with cochlear

implants!

Hi Janet,

ACE seems to be the default choice for first mappings. Then if you

aren't doing well with that, the audiologist will try SPEAK and CIS. In

no particular order. ACE combines the best features of both SPEAK and

CIS, so it's the one favored for a started. It uses the best features of

SPEAK by using a dynamic roving selection of 22 separate channels of

stimlation and the superior pitch resolution and of CIS in providing the

opportunity of higher rates of stimulation and better timing

representation. So, most everyone starts with that these days. It can

be adjusted to suit you, too. And if it's not a good strategy for you,

there is always CIS and SPEAK to try. Nice thing about the Nucleus is

you have a choice of 3 strategies and all the variations within each

strategy.

Hi,

Just curious: how do " they " decide which speech

strategy to use (with the Nucleus especially)? Do

you get a program of each (Ace, Speak, CIS) or do

they go in a particular order?

Hope that makes sense - it is past my bedtime!

Good night,

Janet
