The study findings support the idea of minimizing the frequency-to-place mismatch in CI recipients in order to pursue better initial speech perception in noise. Further research is needed to investigate the prospect of tonotopic fitting strategies based upon postoperative CT images of the exact locations of the electrode contacts.
