Objectives: Several studies have shown that the ability to identify the timbre of musical
instruments is reduced in cochlear implant (CI) users compared with normal-hearing (NH) …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate musical timbre perception in cochlear-
implant (CI) listeners using a multidimensional scaling technique to derive a timbre space …

Cochlear implant (CI) users demonstrate severe limitations in perceiving musical timbre, a
psychoacoustic feature of sound responsible for 'tone color'and one's ability to identify a …

Objective: To investigate the contributions of envelope and fine-structure to the perception of
timbre by cochlear implant (CI) users as compared to normal hearing (NH) listeners …

The perception of timbre is fairly well understood for normal-hearing listeners; however, it is
still unclear how hearing impairment affects this percept. This chapter addresses how …

The identification and discrimination of timbre are essential features of music perception in
cochlear implant users. As timbre differences appear as multidimensional cues, the spectral …

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the contribution of temporal and spectral
cues for timbre perception in listeners with a cochlear implant (CI) in one ear and low …

Objective: Cochlear implants (CI) have provided tremendous benefit for speech recognition
in quiet for patients with severe and profound hearing impairment, but implant users still …

Despite their mutually exclusive definitions, pitch and timbre perception interact with each
other in normal-hearing (NH) listeners. Cochlear implant (CI) users have worse than normal …

Background Cochlear implants (CIs) allow many profoundly deaf individuals to regain
speech understanding. However, the ability to understand speech does not necessarily …
