Objective: This paper reviewed the literature on the trajectories and the factors significantly
affecting post-implantation speech perception development in Mandarin-speaking children …

Objective: This paper reviewed the literature on the development of and factors affecting
speech perception of Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implantation (CI). We also …

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

The present study compared the duration of Mandarin tones in three types of speech
contexts: isolated monosyllables, formal text-reading passages, and casual conversations. A …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to perform a cross-language comparison of two
commonly used sentence-recognition materials (ie, Hearing in Noise Test [HINT] and AzBio) …

Compared with children having normal hearing (NH), those with cochlear implants (CIs)
perform poorly in spoken language comprehension which involves both low-level acoustic …

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life
(HRQoL) of children with cochlear implants (CIs) from the parental perspective. The …

Despite pitch being considered the primary cue for discriminating lexical tones, there are
secondary cues such as loudness contour and duration, which may allow some cochlear …

Objectives: While fundamental frequency (F0) cues are important to both lexical tone
perception and multitalker segregation, F0 cues are poorly perceived by cochlear implant …

Objective The purpose of the present study was to compare spoken word recognition
performance in the presence of speech spectrum-shaped noise and four-talker babbles in …
