ItemSpeech perception results for children changing from multipeak to SPEAK speech processing strategy [Abstract]Sarant, J.Z. ; DelDot, J. ; Dettman, S. ; Hollow, R. ; Skok, M. ; Seligman, P.M. ; Dowell, R.C. ; Gibson, W.P.R. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Pyman, B. ; Galvin, K. L. ; Shaw, S. ; Barker, E. J. ; Brown, C. ( 1996)In mid-1994, a new speech processing strategy termed SPEAK was introduced for the Nucleus Spectra-22 cochlear prostheses. To compare benefits in implanted children changing to the SPEAK strategy, speech perception in a group of twelve children from Melbourne and Sydney was evaluated. The children were assessed in quiet and in background noise.

ItemFactors affecting speech perception in children cochlear 22-channel cochlear prosthesis [Abstract]Dettman, S. ; Hollow, R. ; Herridge, S. ; Rance, G. ; Larratt, M. ; Skok, M. ; Dowel, R.C. ; Pyman, B. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Galvin, K. L. ; Klieve, S. ; Barker, E. J. ; DeDot, J. ; Sarant, J. S. ( 1996)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.

ItemSpeech perception results for implanted children with different levels of preoperative residual hearing [Abstract]Galvin, K.L. ; Rance, G. ; Larratt, M. ; Hollow, R. ; Herridge, S. ; Skok, M. ; Dowell, R.C. ; Pyman, B. ; Gibson, W.P.R. ; Clark, Graeme M. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; DelDot, J. ; Barker, E. J. ; Sarant, J. Z. ; Dettman, S. ; Pegg, P. ( 1996)Many reports have established that hearing-impaired children using the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant may show both significant benefits to lipreading, and significant scores on open-set words and sentences using electrical stimulation only. These findings have raised suggestions that severely or severely-to-profoundly deaf children might benefit more from a cochlear implant than conventional amplification.
