Abstract

An electrophysiological measurement method and system is provided for positioning an implantable transducer (108) of a hearing instrument relative to a middle ear component or inner ear of a patient. The method and system employ electrophysical measurement signals obtained in response to test signals applied to an implanted transducer (108). In one embodiment, the electrophysical measurements are obtained by an electrochleography measurement device (304) that measures the cochlear summating potential and/or action potential responsive to test signals applied to an implanted transducer (108).
