Bilateral and unilateral cochlear implant users compared on speech perception in noise.
OBJECTIVE Compare speech performance in noise with matched bilateral cochlear implant (CICI) and unilateral cochlear implant (CI only) users. DESIGN Thirty CICI and 30 CI-only subjects were tested on a battery of speech perception tests in noise that use an eight-loudspeaker array. RESULTS On average, CICI subject's performance with speech in noise was significantly better than the CI-only ...
متن کاملComparison of music perception in bilateral and unilateral cochlear implant users and normal-hearing subjects.
Music plays an important role in the daily life of cochlear implant (CI) users, but electrical hearing and speech processing pose challenges for enjoying music. Studies of unilateral CI (UCI) users' music perception have found that these subjects have little difficulty recognizing tempo and rhythm but great difficulty with pitch, interval and melody. The present study is an initial step towards...
متن کاملSpatial hearing and speech intelligibility in bilateral cochlear implant users.
OBJECTIVE The abilities to localize sounds and segregate speech from interfering sounds in a complex auditory environment were studied in a group of adults who use bilateral cochlear implants. The first aim of the study was to investigate the change in speech intelligibility under bilateral and unilateral listening modes as a function of bilateral experience during the first 6 mo of activation....
متن کاملImpact of a Moving Noise Masker on Speech Perception in Cochlear Implant Users
OBJECTIVES Previous studies investigating speech perception in noise have typically been conducted with static masker positions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of spatial separation of source and masker (spatial release from masking, SRM) in a moving masker setup and to evaluate the impact of adaptive beamforming in comparison with fixed directional microphones in cochlear ...
متن کاملPerception and Psychoacoustics of Speech in Cochlear Implant Users
Cochlear implants (CIs) are prosthetic devices that restore hearing in deaf individuals via electric stimulation of the auditory nerve through an electrode array inserted in the cochlea. The device consists of a microphone and an externally worn speech processor that converts acoustic signals into electric signals. The speech signal coded with electric pulses is then delivered via a wireless tr...
