Adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients demonstrate a reliable relationship between spectral
modulation detection and speech understanding. Prior studies documenting this relationship …

Speech perception among cochlear implant (CI) listeners is highly variable. High degrees of
channel interaction are associated with poorer speech understanding. Two methods for …

Objectives: This study measured the impact of auditory spectral resolution on listening effort.
Systematic degradation in spectral resolution was hypothesized to elicit corresponding …

Poor spectral resolution can be a limiting factor for hearing impaired listeners, particularly for
complex listening tasks such as speech understanding in noise. Spectral ripple tests are …

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 …

This study examined the contribution of perceptual and cognitive factors to speech-
perception abilities in cochlear-implant (CI) users. Thirty CI users were tested on word …

The goals of the present study were to measure acoustic temporal modulation transfer
functions (TMTFs) in cochlear implant listeners and examine the relationship between …

Measures of spectral ripple resolution have become widely used psychophysical tools for
assessing spectral resolution in cochlear-implant (CI) listeners. The objective of this study …

Objectives: This study was conducted to measure auditory perception by cochlear implant
users in the spectral and temporal domains, using tests of either categorization (using …

Some listeners with hearing loss show poor speech recognition scores in spite of using
amplification that optimizes audibility. Beyond audibility, studies have suggested that …
