Fourteen single-sided deaf listeners fit with an MED-EL cochlear implant (CI) judged the
similarity of clean signals presented to their CI and modified signals presented to their …

Sensory neuroprostheses are emerging as a promising technology to restore lost sensory
function or augment human capabilities. However, sensations elicited by current devices …

What is the best way to help humans adapt to a distorted sensory input? Interest in this
question is more than academic. The answer may help facilitate auditory learning by people …

Objectives: Cochlear implants (CIs) restore speech perception in quiet but they also
eliminate or distort many acoustic cues that are important for music enjoyment …

Background: Noise or tone vocoders have been used as acoustic models of CIs in hundreds
of publications but have never been convincingly validated. Methods: Acoustic models were …

Background: Patients with single-sided deafness (SSD) and a CI form a unique population,
since they can compare the sound of their CI with simulations of the CI sound played to their …

Background: Many recipients of bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) may have differences in
electrode insertion depth. Previous reports indicate that when a bilateral mismatch is …

Binaural unmasking, a key feature of normal binaural hearing, can refer to the improved
intelligibility of masked speech by adding masking that facilitates perceived separation of …

This study was aimed to evaluate the relative contributions of spectral and temporal
information to Korean phoneme recognition and to compare them with those to English …

Objective: Our aim was to determine the effect of acute changes in cochlear place of
stimulation on cochlear implant (CI) sound quality. Design: In Experiment 1, 5 single-sided …
