An exemplary system includes 1) a probe frequency management facility configured to determine a resonant frequency of a middle ear space of a patient fitted with a cochlear implant system and select, in accordance with the determined resonant frequency, a probe frequency for use by a middle ear analyzer, and 2) a control facility configured to direct the middle ear analyzer to generate a measurement probe tone having the selected probe frequency and to use the measurement probe tone to monitor for an occurrence of a stapedius reflex in response to the cochlear implant system applying electrical stimulation by way of one or more electrodes implanted within the patient. Corresponding systems and methods are also disclosed.
