Cochlear implant melody recognition as a function of melody frequency range, harmonicity, and number of electrodes.
OBJECTIVE The primary goal of the present study was to determine how cochlear implant melody recognition was affected by the frequency range of the melodies, the harmonicity of these melodies, and the number of activated electrodes. The secondary goal was to investigate whether melody recognition and speech recognition were differentially affected by the limitations imposed by cochlear implant ...
متن کاملCochlear Implant Rate Pitch and Melody Perception as a Function of Place and Number of Electrodes
Six Nucleus cochlear implant recipients participated in a study investigating the effect of place of stimulation on melody perception using rate-pitch cues. Each stimulus was a pulse train delivered on either a single electrode or multiple electrodes sequentially. Four spatial stimulation patterns were used: a single apical electrode, a single mid electrode, a pair of electrodes (apical and mid...
متن کاملImproved Melody Recognition Performance of a Cochlear Implant Speech Processing Strategy Using Instantaneous Frequency Encoding Based on Teager Energy Operator
We present a speech processing strategy incorporating instantaneous frequency (IF) encoding for the enhancement of melody recognition performance of cochlear implants. For the IF extraction from incoming sound, we propose the use of a Teager energy operator (TEO), which is advantageous for its lower computational load. From time-frequency analysis, we verified that the TEO-based method provides...
متن کاملAuditory stream segregation in cochlear implant listeners: measures based on temporal discrimination and interleaved melody recognition.
The evidence that cochlear implant listeners routinely experience stream segregation is limited and equivocal. Streaming in these listeners was explored using tone sequences matched to the center frequencies of the implant's 22 electrodes. Experiment 1 measured temporal discrimination for short (ABA triplet) and longer (12 AB cycles) sequences (tone/silence durations = 60/40 ms). Tone A stimula...
متن کاملWhat breaks a melody: perceiving F0 and intensity sequences with a cochlear implant.
Pitch perception has been extensively studied using discrimination tasks on pairs of single sounds. When comparing pitch discrimination performance for normal-hearing (NH) and cochlear implant (CI) listeners, it usually appears that CI users have relatively poor pitch discrimination. Tasks involving pitch sequences, such as melody perception or auditory scene analysis, are also usually difficul...
