Abstract
An illustrative system includes a sound processor configured to be worn by a patient and to direct a cochlear implant implanted within the patient to apply electrical stimulation to the patient; and a conductive contact configured to detect a signal representative of an evoked response generated by a brain of the patient, the conductive contact integrated with the sound processor so as to be located between the sound processor and an external surface of a head of the patient while the sound processor is worn by the patient.
