In the past, only people who were profoundly deaf in both ears were considered for cochlear
implantation. Nowadays, it is clear that many implant users perform better in perceptual tests …

Hearing loss affects 30 million people in the United States, and a subset of these patients
have normal low-frequency hearing and ski-sloped high-frequency hearing loss. For these …

Objectives: Listening to speech with multiple competing talkers requires the perceptual
separation of the target voice from the interfering background. Normal-hearing listeners are …

A significant fraction of newly implanted cochlear implant recipients use a hearing aid in
their non-implanted ear. SCORE bimodal is a sound processing strategy developed for this …

Users of a cochlear implant together with a hearing aid in the non-implanted ear currently
use devices that were developed separately and are often fitted separately. This results in …

The aim of cochlear implant (CI) stimulation strategies is to appropriately encode the
important aspects of sound into a pattern of electrical stimulation. Recent research using …

The total number of cochlear implant (CI) recipients worldwide is now approaching 200,000.
Most current CI users attain an adequate ability to understand speech using the implant …

Purpose For listeners with single-sided deafness, a cochlear implant (CI) can improve
speech understanding by giving the listener access to the ear with the better target-to …

This thesis investigates the application of perceptual models to areas of audio engineering,
with a particular focus on music production. The goal was to establish efficient and practical …

Binaural hearing is important for spatial hearing in real-life listening situations, eg, speech
perception in noise, sound localisation, and tracking of moving sounds. Adults with bilateral …
