Importance Contemporary cochlear implants (CI s) are well established as a technology for
people with severe‐to‐profound sensorineural hearing loss, with their effectiveness having …

Objectives: The Optimized Pitch and Language (OPAL) strategy enhances pitch perception
through coding of fundamental frequency (F0) amplitude modulation information in the …

Three cochlear implant (CI) sound coding strategies were combined in the same signal
processing path and compared for speech intelligibility with vocoded Mandarin sentences …

Despite pitch being considered the primary cue for discriminating lexical tones, there are
secondary cues such as loudness contour and duration, which may allow some cochlear …

With limited fundamental frequency (F0) cues, cochlear implant (CI) users recognize
Mandarin tones using amplitude envelope. This study investigated whether tone recognition …

Purpose Fundamental frequency (F0) is the primary acoustic cue for lexical tone perception
in tonal languages but is processed in a limited way in cochlear implant (CI) systems. The …

The cochlea “translates” the in-air vibrational acoustic “language” into the spikes of neural
“language” that are then transmitted to the brain for auditory understanding and/or …
