T-level ( electrode ) = 0.01 ( electrode 2 – 7 2 ) + 0.025 ( electrode – 7) + T-level electrode 7 ( in dB ). (2) As shown in figure 5b, the neighboring electrodes in the center of the array provided comparable results, while the mean r was reduced at both ends of the array (to r = 0.86). R-values for electrodes 2, 5, 9 and 14 are not shown in figure 5b, since these electrodes were active in only less than 33% of the subjects (table 3).

As shown in figure 5b, the neighboring electrodes in the center of the array provided comparable results,
