Effects of combined electric and acoustic hearing on speech perception of a pediatric cochlear implant user

The primary objective of this study was to document the benefits and possible detriments of combining ipsilateral acoustic hearing in the cochlear implant ear of a patient with preserved low frequency residual hearing post cochlear implantation. The secondary aim was to examine the efficacy of various cochlear implant mapping and hearing aid fitting strategies in relation to electro-acoustic benefits.

This study evaluates the progress of children with cochlear implants on the Speech Perception Instructional Curriculum and Evaluation (SPICE) auditory training protocol.

Open-set speech perception of school-age cochlear implant users

This study examines specific auditory features perceived by profoundly hearing-impaired children using conventional binaural hearing aids and the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant. The primary interest of this study was to learn which speech features were most easily perceived by users of each device.

Comparing cochlear implant users' and their partners' subjective assessment of verbal strategy use with objective assessment: does this change following psychosocial therapy?

This paper investigates the effectiveness of a group-based psychosocial rehabilitation program for cochlear implant patients and their frequent communication partners.

Evaluation of sentence perception of adults with hearing loss when using a video teleconferencing system

This study evaluate the speech perception of hearing-impaired adults (with varying degrees of deafness) when using a video teleconferencing system (an integrated service digital network).

Comparing cochlear implant users' objective assessment with a subjective assessment of conversational interactions with unfamiliar speakers
