The experimental electrode used as the reference for loudness-balancing in shown in column C. CI exp = experience with cochlear implant device; Dur deafness = duration of diagnosed severe-to-profound deafness prior to cochlear implantation; Stim mode = stimulation mode; MP1+2 = intracochlear monopolar stimulation with two extracochlear grounds; BP+1 = intracochlear bipolar stimulation with active and return electrode separated by one electrode.
