In normal-hearing (NH) adults, long-term music training may benefit music and speech
perception, even when listening to spectro-temporally degraded signals as experienced by …

The question of how hearing loss and hearing rehabilitation affect patients' momentary
emotional experiences is one that has received little attention but has considerable potential …

Purpose: Postoperative rehabilitation programs for cochlear implant (CI) recipients primarily
emphasize enhancing speech perception. However, effective communication in everyday …

ABSTRACT Introduction Cochlear implants (CIs) are biomedical devices that restore sound
perception for people with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Most postlingually …

Objectives: Research on cochlear implants (CIs) has focused on speech comprehension,
with little research on perception of vocal emotions. We compared emotion perception in CI …

In deaf children, huge emphasis was given to language; however, emotional cues decoding
and production appear of pivotal importance for communication capabilities. Concerning …

Purpose: Cochlear implants (CIs) provide reasonable levels of speech recognition quietly,
but voice pitch perception is severely impaired in CI users. The central question addressed …

Links between musicality and vocal emotion perception skills have only recently emerged as
a focus of study. Here we review current evidence for or against such links. Based on a …

Purpose Using naturalistic synthesized speech, we determined the relative importance of
acoustic cues in voice gender and age perception in cochlear implant (CI) users. Method We …

Objectives: Children with hearing loss (HL), in spite of early cochlear implantation, often
struggle considerably with language acquisition. Previous research has shown a benefit of …
