ItemImproved sound processing for cochlear implantsJames, C.J. ; Just, Y. ; Knight, M.R. ; Martin, L.F.A. ; McKay, C.M. ; Plant, K.L. ; Tari, S. ; Vandali, A.E. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R.S.C. ; McDermott, H. J. ; Blamey, P. J. ; Dawson, P. ; Fearn, R. A. ; Grayden, D. B. ; Henshall, K. R. ( 2002)Four signal processing schemes currently under development aim to improve the perception of sounds/ especially speech, for children and adults using the Nucleus cochlear implant system. The schemes are (1) fast-acting input-signal compression, (2) Adaptive Dynamic Range Optimisation (ADRO), (3) TESM, a scheme that emphasises transients in signals, and (4) DRSP, a strategy that applies different stimulation rates to selected sets of electrodes.

ItemThe effect of language knowledge on speech perception: what are we really assessing? [Abstract]Sarant, J. Z. ; Blamey, P. J. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)It is a common finding that many hearing-impaired children have poorer language skills than their normally-hearing peers of the same age. It is also logical to assume that the measurement of open-set speech perception in children with cochlear implants could be affected by limited receptive vocabulary and syntactic knowledge. Therefore, we may be significantly underestimating the speech perception abilities of some hearing-impaired children.
