    Within-subject comparison of speech perception benefits with a multiple-channel cochlear implant and tactile device
    Sarant, J. Z. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Blamey, P. J. ; Galvin, K. L. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1995)
    In order to adequately advise prospective cochlear implant patients and their families, a clinician must have a good knowledge of the potential for particular individuals to benefit from cochlear implants and other alternatives.

    Studies in tactile speech perception using the University of Melbourne Tickle Talker [Abstract]
    Galvin, K. L. ; Cowan, R. S. C. ; Blamey, P. J. ; Oerlemans, M. ; Ginis, J. ; Mavrias, G. ; Moore, A. ; Lu, A. ; Millard, R. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1998)
    During the past four years, a series of studies have been undertaken investigating the perception of speech presented through the tactile modality. These studies formed part of a project to develop an effective and safe electro tactile speech perception device for those children and adults requiring additional communication assistance to that provided by hearing aids, but unable to benefit from cochlear implants.

    Development of an advanced electrotactile speech processor [Abstract]
    Cowan, Robert S. C. ; Blamey, Peter J. ; Glavin, K. L. ; Sarant, J. Z. ; Millard, R. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1992)
    Initial studies with a multiple channel electrotactile speech processor ('Tickle Talker') showed that profoundly hearing-impaired adults and children could achieve significant improvements on speech perception tests through use of tactual-encoded estimates of fundamental frequency, second formant frequency and amplitude envelope. Results showed that the device provided tactual cues which could be used to discriminate speech features such as vowel length and place, and consonant manner and voicing. However, discrimination of initial consonant voicing was not as consistent as for other features. Accurate discrimination of consonant voicing and manner (particularly high frequency information) is critical, since this Information is generally inaudible through hearing aids, and difficult to lipread.
