Encoding Temporal Fine Structure for Cochlear Implants
University of Southern California
24 participants
Sep 1, 2020
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this study is to improve music and speech perception for cochlear implant users. Presently, most cochlear implants discard the temporal fine structure of sound, which is information that is widely believed to contribute to both music and speech perception. The proposed work examines perceptual and physiological changes that occur once this information is provided to cochlear implant users in a clear and consistent manner.
Eligibility
