The paper is a comprehensive walk-through of the vast and diverse studies that have taken advantage of the MMN response to measure outcome and development after cochlear implantation from the early years of CI till today.

Highlights:

• The MMN provides an objective assessment of CI functioning in children, adolescents and adults.
• In infants with CI, the MMN provides the only means for assessing CI improvement.
• The MMN may be used as a tool in developing and testing novel rehabilitation procedures.
• The MMN may objectively assess the discrimination of different features of music in CI users.
• Multi-feature MMN paradigms permit assessment of discrimination of several auditory dimensions.

The paper is published in "Hearing Research" and is available on this link until 27 September 2017:
