This article describes issues concerning music perception with cochlear implants, discusses
why music perception is usually poor in cochlear implant users, reviews relevant data, and …

Cochlear Limited (Cochlear™) released the fourth-generation cochlear implant system,
Nucleus® Freedom™, in 2005. Freedom is based on 25 years of experience in cochlear …

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 …

Cochlear implantation is a life-changing intervention for people with a severe hearing
impairment [1]. For most cochlear implant (CI) users, speech intelligibility is satisfactory in …

Goal: Advances in computational models of biological systems and artificial neural networks
enable rapid virtual prototyping of neuroprostheses, accelerating innovation in the field …

Objectives: A postlingually implanted adult typically develops hearing with an intact auditory
system, followed by periods of deafness (or near deafness) and adaptation to the implant …

In the n-of-m strategy, the signal is processed through m bandpass filters from which only the
n maximum envelope amplitudes are selected for stimulation. While this maximum selection …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine electric-acoustic masking in cochlear
implant users with ipsilateral residual hearing and different electrode insertion depths and to …

Bilateral cochlear implant (BCI) users only have very limited spatial hearing abilities. Speech
coding strategies transmit interaural level differences (ILDs) but in a distorted manner …

Background Contemporary speech processing strategies in cochlear implants (CIs) such as
the Advanced Combination Encoder (ACE) use a standard Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) …
