▪ Abstract The history of cochlear implants is marked by large improvements in performance,
especially over the past two decades and especially due to the development of ever-better …

This study investigated the effect of pulsatile stimulation rate on medial vowel and consonant
recognition in cochlear implant listeners. Experiment 1 measured phoneme recognition as a …

In cochlear implant (CI) patients, temporal processing is often poorest at low listening levels,
making perception difficult for low-amplitude temporal cues that are important for consonant …

One of the principal objectives of this project is to design, develop and evaluate speech
processors for implantable auditory prostheses. Ideally, the processors will represent the …

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine: 1) whether the acoustic change
complex (ACC) could be reliably recorded in cochlear implant listeners and, 2) whether …

In cochlear implants (CIs), increasing the stimulation rate typically increases the electric
dynamic range (DR), mostly by reducing audibility thresholds. While CI users' intensity …

Phoneme and speech recognition were measured as a function of stimulation pulse rate in
12 listeners with three types of cochlear implants. Identification of consonants and vowels …

Speech processing strategies for cochlear implants transform a microphone or other input
into electrical stimuli. Ideally, the stimuli represent the essential elements of the input in a …

L'une des missions du GEORIC est de collecter et d'analyser aussi objectivement que
possible les informations susceptibles de permettre une meilleure maîtrise du réglage des …

The present study contains two parts. In the first part, the changes in psychophysical levels
of threshold (THR) and maximum comfortable level (MCL) over time were retrospectively …
