Music Training Can Improve Music and Speech Perception in Pediatric Mandarin-Speaking Cochlear Implant Users
Due to limited spectral resolution, cochlear implants (CIs) do not convey pitch information very well. Pitch cues are important for perception of music and tonal language; it is possible that music training may improve performance in both listening tasks. In this study, we investigated music training outcomes in terms of perception of music, lexical tones, and sentences in 22 young (4.8 to 9.3 ...
متن کاملUtilizing hearing aid directional microphones and noise reduction algorithms to improve speech understanding and listening preferences for cochlear implant users
The purpose of this study was to investigate if applying hearing aid directional microphones and noise reduction algorithms as preprocessors to cochlear implant speech processors can enhance speech understanding and listening preference of cochlear implant users. Hearing aid preprocessed speech materials were recorded when KEMAR was wearing a pair of nine-channel digital hearing aids and sittin...
متن کاملSpeech enhancement based on neural networks improves speech intelligibility in noise for cochlear implant users
Speech understanding in noisy environments is still one of the major challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in everyday life. We evaluated a speech enhancement algorithm based on neural networks (NNSE) for improving speech intelligibility in noise for CI users. The algorithm decomposes the noisy speech signal into time-frequency units, extracts a set of auditory-inspired features and feeds ...
متن کاملCompanding to improve cochlear-implant speech recognition in speech-shaped noise.
Nonlinear sensory and neural processing mechanisms have been exploited to enhance spectral contrast for improvement of speech understanding in noise. The "companding" algorithm employs both two-tone suppression and adaptive gain mechanisms to achieve spectral enhancement. This study implemented a 50-channel companding strategy and evaluated its efficiency as a front-end noise suppression techni...
متن کاملLexical-Access Ability and Cognitive Predictors of Speech Recognition in Noise in Adult Cochlear Implant Users
Not all of the variance in speech-recognition performance of cochlear implant (CI) users can be explained by biographic and auditory factors. In normal-hearing listeners, linguistic and cognitive factors determine most of speech-in-noise performance. The current study explored specifically the influence of visually measured lexical-access ability compared with other cognitive factors on speech ...
