Electrode discrimination was measured in six cochlear-implant patients who became profoundly deaf prior to the full development of auditory and speech skills. The cochlear implant manufactured by Cochlear Limited was used. Comparisons were made between two electric stimulation paradigms and two data collection procedures. The paradigms consisted of electrode trajectories and electrodes with random variation in electric current levels. The data collection methods consisted of an adaptive procedure to obtain difference limens and a method of constant stimuli that gives psychometric functions of discrimination performance. Data were collected for reference electrodes at the apical, mid, and basal positions on the array. The psychometric functions showed that discrimination performance improved with increases in the spatial separation between reference and comparison electrodes. The difference limens were similar to the corresponding spatial separation estimated from the psychometric function in most cases. The discrimination performance of most patients was consistent across the two stimulation paradigms. Difference limens were 1-4 electrodes from the reference electrode for most patients. There were differences in performance across patients and the three positions on the array.
