The cochlear implant is the most successful of all neural prostheses developed to date. It is
the most effective prosthesis in terms of restoration of function, and the people who have …

The aims of this paper are to (i) provide a brief history of cochlear implants;(ii) present a
status report on the current state of implant engineering and the levels of speech …

Objectives: When listening to two competing speakers, normal-hearing (NH) listeners can
take advantage of voice differences between the speakers. Users of cochlear implants (CIs) …

Two new approaches to the design of speech processors for cochlear implants are
described. The first aims to represent “fine structure” or “fine frequency” information in a way …

Deaf people who use cochlear implants show surprisingly poor sensitivity to the temporal
fine structure of sounds. One possible reason is that conventional cochlear implants cannot …

Objectives: Fundamental frequency (F0) information is important to Chinese tone and
speech recognition. Cochlear implant (CI) speech processors typically provide limited F0 …

A series of experiments investigated the effects of asymmetric current waveforms on the
perception of place and temporal pitch cues. The asymmetric waveforms were trains of …

A common finding in the cochlear implant literature is that the upper limit of rate
discrimination on a single channel is about 300 pps⁠. The present study investigated rate …

Pitch, our perception of how high or low a sound is on a musical scale, crucially depends on
a sound's periodicity. If an acoustic signal is temporally jittered so that it becomes aperiodic …

Monaural rate discrimination and binaural interaural time difference (ITD) discrimination
were studied as functions of pulse rate in a group of bilaterally implanted cochlear implant …
