As the most successful neural prosthesis, cochlear implants have provided partial hearing to
more than 120000 persons worldwide; half of which being pediatric users who are able to …

Bilateral cochlear implantation is increasingly becoming the standard in the clinical
treatment of bilateral deafness. The main motivation is to provide users of bilateral cochlear …

Variability in speech perception scores among cochlear implant listeners may largely reflect
the variable efficacy of implant electrodes to convey stimulus information to the auditory …

Listening in a noisy environment is challenging for individuals with normal hearing and can
be a significant burden for those with hearing impairment. The extent to which this burden is …

Cochlear implants are highly successful neural prostheses for persons with severe or
profound hearing loss who gain little benefit from hearing aid amplification. Although …

Objective: The goal of this study was to evaluate the ability of a threshold measure, made
with a restricted electrode configuration, to identify channels exhibiting relatively poor spatial …

Speech perception among cochlear implant (CI) listeners is highly variable. High degrees of
channel interaction are associated with poorer speech understanding. Two methods for …

Although bilateral cochlear implantation has the potential to improve sound localization and
speech understanding in noise, obstacles exist in presenting maximally useful binaural …

The partial tripolar electrode configuration is a relatively novel stimulation strategy that can
generate more spatially focused electric fields than the commonly used monopolar …

Spectral ripple discrimination thresholds were measured in 15 cochlear-implant users with
broadband (350–5600 Hz) and octave-band noise stimuli. The results were compared with …
