Auditory perception is our main gateway to communication with others via speech and
music, and it also plays an important role in alerting and orienting us to new events. This …

The nature of pitch and its neural coding have been studied for over a century. A popular
debate has revolved around the question of whether pitch is coded via ''place''cues in the …

The cochlear implant (CI) is the most widely used neuroprosthesis, recovering hearing for
more than half a million severely-to-profoundly hearing-impaired people. However, CIs still …

Dynamic frequency changes in sound provide critical cues for speech perception. Most
previous studies examining frequency discrimination in cochlear implant (CI) users have …

Combined use of a hearing aid (HA) and cochlear implant (CI) has been shown to improve
CI users' speech and music performance. However, different hearing devices, test stimuli …

The ability to process rapid modulations in the spectro-temporal structure of sounds is critical
for speech comprehension. For users of cochlear implants (CIs), spectral cues in speech are …

Most cochlear implants encode the fundamental frequency of periodic sounds by amplitude
modulation of constant-rate pulsatile stimulation. Pitch perception provided by such …

Cochlear implant (CI) listeners typically perform poorly on tasks involving the pitch of
complex tones. This limitation in performance is thought to be mainly due to the restricted …

For listeners with bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs), patient-specific differences in the
interface between cochlear implant (CI) electrodes and the auditory nerve can lead to …

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 …
