Melodic interval perception by normal-hearing listeners and cochlear implant users
The perception of melodic intervals (sequential pitch differences) is essential to music perception. This study tested melodic interval …

Contribution of bimodal hearing to lexical tone normalization in Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users
Native Mandarin normal-hearing (NH) listeners can easily perceive lexical tones even under conditions of great voice pitch variations …

Contour identification with pitch and loudness cues using cochlear implants
Different from speech, pitch and loudness cues may or may not co-vary in music. Cochlear implant (CI) users with poor pitch perception …
PDF DOI
Current steering with partial tripolar stimulation mode in cochlear implants
The large spread of excitation is a major cause of poor spectral resolution for cochlear implant (CI) users. Partial tripolar (pTP) …

Talker-identification training using simulations of binaurally combined electric and acoustic hearing: Generalization to speech and emotion recognition
Understanding speech in background noise, talker identification, and vocal emotion recognition are challenging for cochlear implant …

Pitch contour identification with combined place and temporal cues using cochlear implants
This study investigated the integration of place- and temporal-pitch cues in pitch contour identification (PCI), in which cochlear …
PDF DOI
Encoding pitch contours using current steering
This study investigated cochlear implant (CI) users’ ability to perceive pitch cues from time-varying virtual channels (VCs) to …

Effects of stimulus duration on amplitude modulation processing with cochlear implants
This study investigated temporal integration processes underlying cochlear implant (CI) users’ amplitude modulation processing. …

Concurrent-vowel and tone recognition by Mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users
In Mandarin Chinese, tonal patterns are lexically meaningful. In a multi-talker environment, competing tones may create interference in …
PDF DOI
Concurrent-vowel and tone recognitions in acoustic and simulated electric hearing
Because of the poor spectral resolution in cochlear implants (CIs), fundamental frequency (F0) cues are not well preserved. …
