Cochlear implants (CIs) are the world's most successful sensory prosthesis and have been
the subject of intense research and development in recent decades. We critically review the …

Cochlear Limited (Cochlear™) released the fourth-generation cochlear implant system,
Nucleus® Freedom™, in 2005. Freedom is based on 25 years of experience in cochlear …

Speech understanding in noisy environments is still one of the major challenges for cochlear
implant (CI) users in everyday life. We evaluated a speech enhancement algorithm based …

Programming Cochlear Implants, Second Edition introduces the basics of cochlear implant
hardware and programming and continues through advanced programming techniques …

Objective: In a cochlear implant (CI) speech processor, noise reduction (NR) is a critical
component for enabling CI users to attain improved speech perception under noisy …

This paper presents low-rank approximation based multichannel Wiener filter algorithms for
noise reduction in speech plus noise scenarios, with application in cochlear implants. In a …

Objective: This paper provides a detailed description of the Nucleus 6 system, and clinically
evaluates user performance compared to the previous Nucleus 5 system in cochlear implant …

In the framework of the European HearCom project, promising signal enhancement
algorithms were developed and evaluated for future use in hearing instruments. To assess …

A novel dual-microphone speech enhancement technique is proposed in the present paper.
The technique utilizes the coherence between the target and noise signals as a criterion for …

Background: Although cochlear implant patients are achieving increasingly higher levels of
performance, speech perception in noise continues to be problematic. The newest …
