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

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that cochlear implant
(CI) users' music perception is correlated with their lexical tone perception, and the two types …

Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of hearing and speech rehabilitation in
patients with Nurotron® cochlear implants. Design Ninety-eight paediatric patients with …

Background Poor representation of pitch information in CI devices hinders pitch perception
and affects perception of lexical tones in cochlear implant users who speak tonal languages …
