What the study is about

The goal of this study is to improve music and speech perception for cochlear implant users. Presently, most cochlear implants discard the temporal fine structure of sound, which is information that is widely believed to contribute to both music and speech perception. The proposed work examines perceptual and physiological changes that occur once this information is provided to cochlear implant users in a clear and consistent manner.

Being studied: Stimulation Rate; Electrode Location

Conditions: Hearing Loss; Cochlear Implants
