    Results for Chinese and English in a multichannel cochlear implant patient
    Xu, S. A. ; Dowell, R. C. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1987)
    A multichannel cochlear prosthesis was implanted in a Chinese patient who suffered from profound sensory hearing loss. The preoperative Minimal Auditory Capabilities (MAC) battery tests in English, as well as an open set bisyllable word test, an open set sentence test, and speech tracking in Chinese indicated significant improvement of speech perception for both English and Chinese after the operation. Substantial understanding of running speech was possible in both languages without the help of lipreading.
