An exemplary diagnostic system directs a cochlear implant to step through applying a sequence of stimulation events each having a different stimulation level to an electrode set disposed on an electrode lead, detects, while the cochlear implant is stepping through applying the sequence of stimulation events to the electrode set, user input indicating that a stapedial reflex state within the recipient changes from a first reflex state to a second reflex state, identifies a particular stimulation event that corresponds to the change in the stapedial reflex state from the first reflex state to the second reflex state, the particular stimulation event having a particular stimulation level, and graphically presents one or more graphical markers indicating that the stapedial reflex state is the second reflex state at the particular stimulation level.
