Encoding Temporal Fine Structure for Cochlear Implants

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hearing Loss, Cochlear Implants

In brief

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.
