Combined electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS) has demonstrated better speech
recognition than conventional cochlear implant (CI) and yielded satisfactory performance …

Lexical tone recognition in multiple-talker babbles (N= 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, or 12) and in speech-
shaped noise at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs=− 18 to− 6 dB) were tested in 30 …

Despite being an elusive concept, the temporal amplitude envelope of a signal is essential
for its complete characterization, being the primary information-carrying medium in spoken …

Speech perception is the key to verbal communication. For people with hearing loss, the
capability to recognize speech is restricted, particularly in a noisy environment or the …

Signal segmentation is used in many areas, from audio processing to health applications,
and consists of dividing a signal into segments, homogeneous according to given metrics …

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the developmental trajectory of Mandarin tone
identification in quiet and two noisy conditions: speech-shaped noise (SSN) and multitalker …

How people recognize linguistic and emotional prosody in different listening conditions is
essential for understanding the complex interplay between social context, cognition, and …

Purpose: This study investigated the categorical perception of Mandarin tones and
consonant aspiration contrasts in babble noise among adults and adolescents aged 12–14 …

Objective: People with presbycusis (PC) often report difficulties in speech recognition,
especially under noisy listening conditions. Investigating the PC-related changes in central …

Importance Contemporary cochlear implants (CI s) are well established as a technology for
