The Minimum Speech Test Battery for Adult Cochlear Implant Evaluation
What is it about?
The Minimum Speech Test Battery- Version 3 (MSTB-3) provides recommendations for pre-operative determination of candidacy and post-operative assessment of cochlear implant performance in adults. It contains important practice guidance for clinicians working with cochlear implant (CI) candidates and recipients including testing protocols, digitally downloadable test materials, report templates, and a manual detailing testing considerations for working with the variety of patient types followed by CI centers.
Why is it important?
The MSTB-3 was created to support expanded candidacy by providing clinicians with evaluation criteria to assess a wider variation of possible CI candidates; including patients with asymmetrical hearing loss (AHL), single sided deafness (SSD), and usable acoustic hearing.
