Speech onset enhancement improves intelligibility in adverse listening conditions for cochlear implant users

R Koning, J Wouters - Hearing research, 2016 - Elsevier
Speech perception by cochlear implant (CI) users can be very good in quiet but their speech
intelligibility (SI) performance decreases in noisy environments. Because recent studies …

The potential of onset enhancement for increased speech intelligibility in auditory prostheses

R Koning, J Wouters - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
