Auditory Perception and Verbal Intelligibility in Children with Cochlear Implant, Hearing Aids and Normal Hearing
Objective: The aim of the present research was to compare the auditory perception and verbal intelligibility in children with cochlear implant, hearing aids and normal hearing. Methods: 60 children aged 5-7 years were divided to three groups and each group contained 20 children. The first and second groups were selected ordinarily from children with cochlear implant and hearing aids by conve...
متن کاملSpatial release from masking in children with bilateral cochlear implants and with normal hearing: Effect of target-interferer similarity.
In complex auditory environments, it is often difficult to separate a target talker from interfering speech. For normal hearing (NH) adult listeners, similarity between the target and interfering speech leads to increased difficulty in separating them; that is, informational masking occurs due to confusability of the target and interferers. This study investigated performance of children with b...
متن کاملSpatial release from masking in children with normal hearing and with bilateral cochlear implants: effect of interferer asymmetry.
Spatial release from masking (SRM) was measured in groups of children with bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs, average ages 6.0 and 7.9 yr) and with normal hearing (NH, average ages 5.0 and 7.8 yr). Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were measured for target speech in front (0°), and interferers in front, distributed asymmetrically toward the right (+90°/+90°) or distributed symmetrically towar...
متن کاملMandarin consonant contrast recognition among children with cochlear implants or hearing aids and normal-hearing children.
HYPOTHESIS The purpose of the present study was to investigate the consonant recognition of Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants (CIs) and hearing aids (HAs) and to determine if they reach a level of consonant recognition similar to that of normal-hearing (NH) children. BACKGROUND Little information is available in the literature regarding the consonant perception abilities of pr...
متن کاملUnilateral and bilateral hearing aids, spatial release from masking and auditory acclimatization.
Spatial release from masking (SRM) was tested within the first week of fitting and after 12 weeks hearing aid use for unilateral and bilateral adult hearing aid users. A control group of experienced hearing aid users completed testing over a similar time frame. The main research aims were (1) to examine auditory acclimatization effects on SRM performance for unilateral and bilateral hearing aid...
