Vibrotactile stimulation based on the fundamental frequency can improve melodic contour identification of normal-hearing listeners with a 4-channel cochlear implant simulation
Cochlear implant (CI) users’ poor speech recognition in noise and music perception may be both due to their limited access to pitch …

Interaction between pitch and timbre perception in normal-hearing listeners and cochlear implant users
Despite their mutually exclusive definitions, pitch and timbre perception interact with each other in normal-hearing (NH) listeners. …

Vocal emotion recognition performance predicts the quality of life in adult cochlear implant users
Clinical tests of cochlear implant (CI) outcomes in sentence recognition cannot fully reflect CI users’ self-reported quality of …

Talker variability effects on vocal emotion recognition in acoustic and simulated electric hearing
Vocal emotion production varies across talkers. Effects of talker variability (i.e., same talker vs different talkers across trials) on …

Symmetric electrode spanning narrows the excitation patterns of partial tripolar stimuli in cochlear implants
In cochlear implants (CIs), standard partial tripolar (pTP) mode reduces current spread by returning a fraction of the current to two …
