Early activation of the implant did not impact the healing process of the incision site, suggesting that one-day activation of the implant is feasible for some patients when medically possible. The evolution of the impedance and stimulation levels were consistent with that reported in previous studies, which indicates that early activation did not interfere with the physiological changes taking place after implantation.

The results presented in this article demonstrated that early activation for this sample did not seem to interfere with wound healing or with the fitting parameters suggesting that early activation should be considered as viable option to better serve CI patients' individual needs.
