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 کاملDevelopment of Lexical Connectivity in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users
The present study examined the performance of pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users on easy (high frequency words from low density neighborhoods) and hard (low frequency words from high density neighborhoods) words on the monosyllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (LNT) and Multi-syllabic Lexical Neighborhood Test (MLNT). The easy—hard effect (the superior performance on easy words compared to hard...
متن کاملAuditory functionality and early use of speech in a group of pediatric cochlear implant users.
This study examined auditory functionality and early use of speech in a group of paediatric cochlear implant users. Parents of 33 implanted children from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Cochlear Implant Program were interviewed using the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) and the Meaningful Use of Speech Scale (MUSS). In general, higher MAIS scores post-implantation were significan...
متن کاملEffects of speaking style on speech intelligibility for Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users.
Cochlear implant (CI) users' speech understanding may be influenced by different speaking styles. In this study, speech recognition was measured in Mandarin-speaking CI and normal-hearing (NH) subjects for sentences produced according to four styles: slow, normal, fast, and whispered. CI subjects were tested using their clinical processors; NH subjects were tested while listening to a four-chan...
متن کاملLexical tone perception with HiResolution and HiResolution 120 sound-processing strategies in pediatric Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users.
OBJECTIVES Lexical tone recognition tends to be poor in cochlear implant users. The HiResolution (HiRes) sound-processing strategy is designed to better preserve temporal fine structure, or the detailed envelope information, of an acoustic signal. The newer HiRes 120 strategy builds on HiRes by increasing the amount of potential spectral information delivered to the implant user. The purpose of...
