Under normal conditions, human speech is remarkably robust to degradation by noise and
other distortions. However, people with hearing loss, including those with cochlear implants …

Many cochlear implant (CI) users achieve excellent speech understanding in acoustically
quiet conditions but most perform poorly in the presence of background noise. An important …

The study examined whether the benefit of deactivating stimulation sites estimated to have
broad neural excitation was attributed to improved spectral resolution in cochlear implant …

In cochlear implant simulation with vocoders, narrow-band carriers deliver the envelopes
from each analysis band to the cochlear positions of the simulated electrodes. However, this …

Sensitivity to interaural time differences (ITDs) in acoustic hearing involves comparison of
interaurally frequency-matched inputs. Bilateral cochlear-implant arrays are, however, only …

This study investigated the number of channels available to cochlear implant (CI) recipients
for maximum speech understanding and sound quality for lateral wall electrode arrays …

Objectives: The ability to perceive speech is related to the listener's ability to differentiate
among frequencies (ie, spectral resolution). Cochlear implant (CI) users exhibit variable …

While cochlear implants (CIs) have proven to restore speech perception to a remarkable
extent, access to music remains difficult for most CI users. In this work, a methodology for the …

Objective: The binaural-hearing system interaurally compares inputs, which underlies the
ability to localize sound sources and to better understand speech in complex acoustic …

Purpose: This review article provides a theoretical overview of the development of spectral
resolution in children with normal hearing (cNH) and in those who use cochlear implants …
