As the most successful neural prosthesis, cochlear implants have provided partial hearing to
more than 120000 persons worldwide; half of which being pediatric users who are able to …

More than 60,000 people worldwide use cochlear implants as a means to restore functional
hearing. Although individual performance variability is still high, an average implant user …

Amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) are commonly used in
communication, but their relative contributions to speech recognition have not been fully …

Speech recognition in noise and music perception is especially challenging for current
cochlear implant users. The present study utilizes the residual acoustic hearing in the …

Noise was traditionally regarded as a nuisance, which should be minimized if possible.
However, recent research has shown that addition of an appropriate amount of noise can …

Speech recognition performance was measured in normal-hearing and cochlear-implant
listeners with maskers consisting of either steady-state speech-spectrum-shaped noise or a …

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 …

The principles of the most recent cochlear implant processors are similar to that of the
channel vocoder, originally used for transmitting speech over telephone lines with much less …

Objective To measure the benefit (ie, sound localization and speech intelligibility in noise) of
bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) in adults and in children. Design, Setting, and Patients …

Different from traditional Fourier analysis, a signal can be decomposed into amplitude and
frequency modulation components. The speech processing strategy in most modern …
