Conventional loudness coding with CIs by pulse current amplitude has a disadvantage Increasing the stimulation current increases the spread of excitation in the auditory nerve, resulting in stronger channel interactions at high stimulation levels. These limit the number of effective information channels that a CI user can perceive. Stimulus intensity information (loudness) can alternatively be transmitted via pulse phase duration. We hypothesized that loudness coding by phase duration avoids the increase in the spread of the electric
