Effects of habilitation in background noise on speech perception in implanted children [Abstract]

Cowan, R. S. C. ; Klieve, S. ; Galvin, K. L. ; Sarant, J. Z. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)

Evaluation of a group of children using the Nucleus multichannel cochlear implant, evaluated over a two year period, showed that improvements to speech perception scores in poor signal-to-noise conditions could be achieved through use of the Speak speech processing strategy. The increases were noted particularly in perception of consonant place features in poor signal-to-noise conditions. However, overall scores were still lower than for hearing in quiet.

Since the implantation of the first children with the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear prosthesis in Melbourne in 1985, there have been rapid expansion world-wide in the number of children using this implant system. Longer-term experience with implanted children has led to improvements in paediatric assessment and management. Speech processing strategies have also been improved, resulting in a series of increases in speech perception benefits.
