Objective: Some cochlear implant (CI) users report having difficulty accessing indexical
information in the speech signal, presumably due to limitations in the transmission of fine …

In this article, we review the PET neuroimaging literature, which indicates peculiarities of
brain networks involved in speech restoration after cochlear implantation. We consider data …

Objectives: When listening to two competing speakers, normal-hearing (NH) listeners can
take advantage of voice differences between the speakers. Users of cochlear implants (CIs) …

In normal hearing (NH), the perception of the gender of a speaker is strongly affected by two
anatomically related vocal characteristics: the fundamental frequency (F0), related to vocal …

Cognitive hearing science is mainly about the study of how cognitive factors contribute to
speech comprehension, but cognitive factors also partake in speech processing to infer non …

Objectives: The detection of fundamental frequency (F0) variations plays a prominent role in
the perception of intonation. Cochlear implant (CI) users with residual hearing might have …

Perceptual differences in voice cues, such as fundamental frequency (F0) and vocal tract
length (VTL), can facilitate speech understanding in challenging conditions. Yet, we …

Introduction Real-world speech communication involves interacting with many talkers with
diverse voices and accents. Many adults with cochlear implants (CIs) demonstrate poor …

Purpose The focus of this study was to examine the influence of fundamental frequency (F0)
and vocal tract length (VTL) modifications on speaker gender recognition in cochlear implant …

Cochlear implant (CI) users find it extremely difficult to discriminate between talkers, which
may partially explain why they struggle to understand speech in a multi-talker environment …
