Abstract
Introduction: Today cochlear implantation is a widely used therapeutic approach for the treatment of deafness and severe hearing disorders. Postoperative fitting of the externally worn speech processor is very important for successful use of the cochlear implant. Intraoperatively measured stapedius reflex (SR) threshold values are routinely used for programming the speech processor. However, anaesthetic agents can increase the SR threshold up to total blockade.
