Voice onset time in children with bilateral cochlear implants

This study aimed to investigate the voice onset time (VOT) of plosives in VCV syllables by place articulation and phonation type spoken children with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) comparison typical hearing (TH). In all, 15 CIs TH participated this study, aged between 5 10 years. All produced 9 their VOT were analyzed Praat software. There was no significant difference mean TH. However, there a articulation, such that for velars longer than those bilabials alveolars. Additionally, type, aspirated consonants lenis fortis consonants. The results suggest can distinguish acoustic properties plosive control speech timing structures larynx oral cavity at similar level as
