Speech sound perception of cochlear implant patients.

Environmental sound perception of cochlear implant users.

The purposes of this study were (1) to develop a new test of environmental sound perception, the Environmental Sounds Perception Test (EST), (2) to compare the performance of experienced cochlear implant (CI) recipients with that of age-equivalent normally hearing (NH) listeners using this new test, and (3) to pilot test its clinical use as a pre-to-post assessment tool. The closed-set EST cons...

Cochlear Implant Stimulation Rates and Speech Perception

Speech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants

Cochlear implants provide access to the speech signal in children with hearing loss that often cannot benefit from acoustic hearing aids. However, despite the numerous positive results in pediatric cochlear implantation, published data still indicated a wide range of performance among implant recipients. Hence, a need to study the possible variables that can affect performance, could account fo...

The perception of foreign-accented speech by cochlear implant users

The current study investigated the perception of foreign-accented speech by prelingually deaf, longterm cochlear implant (CI) users. CI and normalhearing (NH) listeners made judgements about the intelligibility of short sentences produced by native and non-native speakers of American English. While both CI and NH listeners rated foreign-accented sentences as less intelligible than native senten...

Speech perception in pre-lingual deaf users of cochlear implant.

BACKGROUND cochlear implant is a rather processing electronic device in terms of its benefits, as it provides the deaf child with the appropriation of incidental oral language. AIM to evaluate the hearing performance of the first 60 children with pre-lingual sensorineural hearing loss who were implanted at the Audiologic Research Centre of the Hospital de Reabilitação de Anomalias Craniofacia...
