Modeling the effect of channel number and interaction on consonant recognition in a cochlear implant peak-picking strategy
Significance of output:
Over 220, 000 individuals around the world have received a cochlear implant, with potential recipents amounting to ten times that number. Our study has shown that problems in speech perception by better-performing cochlear implant users are limited by information loss due to device signal processing and that the upper limit on performance can be further improved with better representation of frequency information. The report of the study in JASA will ensure a widespread impact on the cochlear implant science community, and has been cited in a further influential study of signal processing in bilateral cochlear implant recipients.
