BACKGROUND In order to shorten the programming process of cochlear implanted (CI) children it is possible to establish the T level (threshold level) as being 10% of the C level (most comfortable level). OBJECTIVE To compare the results of speech perception tests using the map of the real thresholds levels and the map corresponding to 10% of the C level. MRTHODS: A list of monosyllables and sentences were used with 30 CI individuals in two programming situations. RESULTS no difference was found between the results in the speech tests in the two programming situations. CONCLUSIONS The use of the map with the T level corresponding to 10% of the C level can be an option to program young children, especially for those who do not respond to the investigation of the real T levels.
