High levels of speech recognition have been obtained with cochlear implant users in quiet conditions. In noisy environments, speech recognition deteriorates considerably, especially in speech-like noise. The aim of this ...

Post-implantation facial nerve stimulation is a common side-effect of cochlear electrical stimulation. Facial nerve stimulation can often be resolved through adjustments in speech processor fitting but, in some instances, ...

Speech processing in the human cochlea introduces travelling waves on the basilar membrane. These travelling waves have largely been ignored in most processing strategies. This study implements a hydrodynamical model in ...

Cochlear implants are electronic devices intended for restoring hearing to the profoundly deaf. Unfortunately the degree of restored hearing varies greatly between subjects. To investigate some of the mechanisms that ...

Using a Kalman filter that contains a forward-predictive model of a relevant system, to predict the states of that system by means of an analysis-by-synthesis implementation in order to evade significant time delays incurred ...

Music perception in cochlear implant (CI) listeners has been found to be generally unsatisfactory. An improved understanding of music perception in CIs is thus required, where research into the perception of timbre, an ...

The degree of hearing restoration provided by the cochlear implant is prone to inter-subject variance. The objective of this study is to account for some of the factors influencing this through a subject-specific model ...

Visual target acquisition is performed during several daily tasks, often requmng time¬dependent behavioural responses towards stimuli. Information processing during such tasks is subject to bottom-up as well top-down ...

Recipients of present-day cochlear implants (CIs) display remarkable success with speech recognition in quiet, but not with speech recognition in noise. Normal-hearing (NH) listeners, in contrast, perform relatively well ...

Cochlear implant (CI) devices afford many profoundly deaf individuals worldwide partially restored hearing ability. Although CI users achieve remarkable speech perception with contemporary multichannel CI devices, their ...
