Amplitude Modulation Detection and Speech Recognition in Late-Implanted Prelingually and Postlingually Deafened Cochlear Implant Users

Cross-Modal and Intra-Modal Characteristics of Visual Function and Speech Perception Performance in Postlingually Deafened, Cochlear Implant Users.

Evidence of visual-auditory cross-modal plasticity in deaf individuals has been widely reported. Superior visual abilities of deaf individuals have been shown to result in enhanced reactivity to visual events and/or enhanced peripheral spatial attention. The goal of this study was to investigate the association between visual-auditory cross-modal plasticity and speech perception in post-lingual...

Spectrotemporal Modulation Detection and Speech Perception by Cochlear Implant Users

Spectrotemporal modulation (STM) detection performance was examined for cochlear implant (CI) users. The test involved discriminating between an unmodulated steady noise and a modulated stimulus. The modulated stimulus presents frequency modulation patterns that change in frequency over time. In order to examine STM detection performance for different modulation conditions, two different tempor...

[Coping strategies in postlingually deafened adult cochlear implant users in comparison to the hearing population].

OBJECTIVE The research question was: what coping strategies are used by the postlingually deafened adult cochlear implant (CI) users, in comparison to the hearing population, taking into account their gender and CI experience. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the assessment of the coping strategies we used the C.S. Carver's Brief COPE questionnaire in Polish adaptation. The questionnaire and informati...

Effects of training on timbre recognition and appraisal by postlingually deafened cochlear implant recipients.

The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of structured training on recognition and appraisal of the timbre (tone quality) of musical instruments by postlingually deafened cochlear implant recipients. Twenty-four implant users (Nucleus CI24M) were randomly assigned to a control or a training group. The control group experienced only incidental exposure to music in their usual daily ro...
