Objective: The present study evaluated whether the poorer baseline performance of
cochlear implant (CI) users or the technical and/or physiological properties of CI stimulation …

Different from normal-hearing (NH) listeners, speech recognition thresholds (SRTs) in
cochlear implant (CI) users are typically poorer with dynamic maskers than with speech …

Purpose To examine the effects of temporal and spectral interference of masking noise on
sentence recognition for listeners with cochlear implants (CI) and normal-hearing persons …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychophysical
spectral resolution and sentence reception in various types of interfering backgrounds for …

Many competing noises in real environments are modulated or fluctuating in level. Listeners
with normal hearing are able to take advantage of temporal gaps in fluctuating maskers …

Cochlear implant (CI) users are unable to receive masking release and the reasons are
unclear. The present study examines the hypothesis that when listening to speech in …

Previous work [Nelson, Jin, Carney, and Nelson (2003), J. Acoust. Soc. Am 113, 961–968]
suggested that cochlear implant users do not benefit from masking release when listening in …

Cochlear implant (CI) listeners struggle to understand speech in background noise.
Interactions between electrode channels due to current spread increase the masking of …

Poor spectral resolution contributes to the difficulties experienced by cochlear implant (CI)
users when listening to speech in noise. However, correlations between measures of …

This study investigated the effects of simulated cochlear-implant processing on speech
reception in a variety of complex masking situations. Speech recognition was measured as a …
