... Speech recognition Binaural hearing Quality of life Since the late 1970s, the development and technological advancement of cochlear implants (CIs) have enabled deaf children to perceive sound stimuli [Gray et al., 2003; Bradham and Jones, 2008]. Although unilateral CI users experience...

...Aysenur Kucuk Ceyhan; Haci Huseyin Dere; Banu Mujdeci Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new auditory training (AT) program on the speech recognition in the noise and on the auditory event-related potentials in elderly hearing aid users. Methods: Thirty...

... understanding in noise Speech-in-noise tests Speech recognition Francophone Understanding speech in the presence of background noise is often difficult, even for listeners with normal hearing sensitivity. Although it is particularly more challenging to recognize SpIN for most individuals with hearing...

..., on speech recognition outcomes in adult CI users. Methods: A retrospective chart review was completed at a tertiary academic medical center. Seventeen post-lingually deafened adult CI users (median age = 58.6 years; age range: 23.5–78.9 years) with long-term use of a paired sound-processing strategy (Optima...

... testing of speech recognition could be time-saving for both the implant centers as well as the patient. This study addresses two methodological challenges we encountered in the development of a remote speech recognition tool for adult CI users. First, we examined whether speech recognition in noise...

... Perception (RASP) test to characterise speech recognition ability under monotic and dichotic listening arrangements. Subsequently, the results for each monotic and dichotic test condition were compared to quantify the binaural benefit from CI usage. The study results demonstrate significantly improved speech...

..., the previous experiments showed that processor MAPs that had better across-site mean (ASM) MDTs yielded better speech recognition than MAPs with poorer ASM MDTs tested in the same subject. The current study extends our earlier work on developing more optimal-fitting strategies to test the feasibility of using...

... have employed increasingly high stimulation rates, no clear or consistent advantage has been shown for high rates. In this study, speech recognition was acutely measured with experimental processors in 7 CI subjects (Clarion CII users). The stimulation rate varied between (approx.) 600 and 4800 pulses...

...Katrien Vermeire; Paul Van de Heyning The aim of this clinical study was to assess speech recognition in noise after cochlear implantation in subjects with single-sided deafness and incapacitating tinnitus. 20 subjects complaining of severe intractable tinnitus unresponsive to treatment received...

... coding strategies, and individuals with increasingly more residual hearing receiving implants. Despite this evolution, the same recommendations for pre- and postimplant speech recognition testing have been in place for over 10 years in the United States. To determine whether new recommendations...

...Jiunn-Liang Wu; Hui-Mei Yang; Yi-Hui Lin; Qian-Jie Fu The present study investigated whether moderate amounts of computer-assisted speech training can improve the speech recognition performance of hearing-impaired children. Ten Mandarin-speaking children (3 hearing aid users and 7 cochlear implant...

... in the evaluation of speech rehabilitation after cochlear implantation was investigated. eCaps of all electrodes were measured intraoperatively. The ‘threshold’ and ‘comfort’ levels, speech recognition and pure tone thresholds were determined at follow-up. The correlation coefficient was calculated between eCap...

... influencing spoken language in young deaf children with cochlear implants. Normal-hearing peers serve as controls. As part of a comprehensive evaluation battery, a speech recognition hierarchy was designed to assess how well these children recognize speech stimuli across developmental stages. Data were...

... (DRs). In a group of 17 subjects, we assessed across-site variation (ASV) and across-site mean (ASM) values of C levels and DRs for bipolar (BP) and monopolar (MP) stimulation, and examined the relation of these metrics to speech recognition across subjects. Significant negative correlations...

...Lendra M. Friesen; Robert V. Shannon; Rachel J. Cruz 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 and recognition of words and sentences were measured in 5 Clarion...

...Bryan E. Pfingst; Li Xu; Catherine S. Thompson Functional implications of across-site variation in detection thresholds in subjects with cochlear implants were evaluated by comparing thresholds to speech recognition performance.
