Abstract
An exemplary system includes 1) an electro-acoustic stimulation ('EAS') sound processor configured to be located external to a patient, 2) a cochlear implant communicatively coupled to the EAS sound processor and configured to be implanted within the patient, 3) an electrode array communicatively coupled to the cochlear implant and configured to be located within a cochlea of the patient, and 4) a receiver communicatively coupled to the EAS sound processor and configured to be in communication with an ear of the patient. The EAS sound processor directs at least one of the cochlear implant and the receiver to apply stimulation to the patient, records an evoked response that occurs in response to the stimulation, and performs a predetermined action in accordance with the evoked response. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
