Each column shows from left to right, the animal’s age (months at the time of implantation), the threshold of ABR (dB SPL) for the different frequencies tested (kHz), the period of study (weeks), the location of the stimulating electrode, the impedance measured for the stimulating electrode (Ohm), and for each strategy, the charges at threshold (nC), the size of the dynamic range (nC), and the slope of the eCAP growth function (mV/nC) after linear fitting and selection of the fit with the least residual. For acute animals, impedance measurements given in the table were measured at the beginning of the recording session. The charges at threshold, the dynamic range and the eCAP slope are based on the growth function presented in Fig 5.
