... review and meta-analysis, respectively. No publication bias was detected based on an Egger’s regression result even though the funnel plot was asymmetrical. The results of the meta-analysis revealed that the largest improvement was seen for rhythm perception, followed by the perception of pitch...

...Daniela Korth; Andreas Wollbrink; Robert Wunderlich; Daniela Ivansic; Orlando Guntinas-Lichius; Vasiliki Salvari; Christo Pantev; Christian Dobel Introduction: The determination of the tinnitus pitch-match (PM) frequency is not straightforward but an important audiological assessment recommended...

... position of each electrode was calculated as follows: X e1 = [2.62 A × log (1 + θ e1 /235)]/CDL; X en = [(2.62 A × log (1 + θ e1 /235)) - Y n ]/CDL; X e1 = relative position of electrode 1 according to CDL; X en = relative position of electrode n according to CDL; Pitch Cochlear...

... improves speech perception in these individuals. A secondary goal was to see if pitch perception changed after experience with the new CI frequency allocation. Three subjects who had lost all residual hearing in the implanted ear were recruited to use an experimental CI frequency allocation with a lower...

...Lawrence T. Cohen; Peter A. Busby; Lesley A. Whitford; Graeme M. Clark Numerical estimation of pitch was performed by 8 adult subjects implanted with cochlear prostheses manufactured by Cochlear Limited. The electrode arrays had been inserted into the scala tympani to between one and one and a half...

...Lawrence T. Cohen; Peter A. Busby; Graeme M. Clark Results for forward masking and numerical estimation of pitch were compared in a group of 6 adult subjects implanted with cochlear prostheses manufactured by Cochlear Limited. Data were collected for bipolar + 1 stimulation in all subjects...

...Hugh McDermott; Catherine Sucher; Andrea Simpson For simultaneous acoustic and electric stimulation to be perceived as complementary, it may be beneficial for hearing aids and cochlear implants (CI) to be adjusted to provide compatible pitch sensations. To this end, estimates of the pitch perceived...

...Johan Laneau; Jan Wouters; Marc Moonen Music perception and appraisal is very poor in cochlear implant (CI) subjects partly because (musical) pitch is inadequately transmitted by the current clinically used sound processors. A new sound processing scheme (F0mod) was designed to optimize pitch...

... a relatively smooth, natural timbre. All frequency components were set to sine phase. For NBC and BBC tones, global pitch was determined by the respective missing fundamental frequencies. In each of the three spectral conditions, the tones had periodicities of 100, 200, and 400 Hz (upper, middle, and lower row...

...Bernd Lütkenhöner In several previous studies, the deflection N100m of the auditory evoked field (AEF), occurring about 100 ms after the onset of a sound, has been used to investigate whether complex tones are represented in the auditory cortex by their spectrum or their periodicity pitch. However...

... in the absence of a corresponding external acoustic stimulus. Ten subjects with chronic tinnitus were asked to rate on a numeric scale the contribution of elementary pitch sensations evoked by isolated frequency components to their overall tinnitus sensation. The resulting ‘internal tinnitus spectra’, which...

...Bernd Lütkenhöner; Christian Lammertmann; Stefan Knecht The auditory evoked field (AEF) in response to pure tones of 250 and 1000 Hz and a complex tone with a periodicity of 4 ms (composed of the frequencies 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, and 2000 Hz), corresponding to a pitch of 250 Hz, was recorded...
