    Speech cues for cochlear implantees: spectral discrimination
    Henry, Belinda, A. ; McKay, Colette M. ; McDermott, Hugh, J. ; Clark, Graeme M. (Monduzzi Editore, 1997)
    The relationship between the ability of cochlear implantees to perceive speech and their ability to discriminate between stimulation on adjacent electrodes was investigated. Speech perception ability was assessed with monosyllabic words in 8 users Nucleus cochlear prosthesis. The ability of these subjects to discriminate between stimulation on adjacent electrodes, in of random loudness differences between electrodes was determined. Results were averaged in the apical, mid and basal regions of the cochlea. Regression analysis showed that speech perception ability and electrode discrimination ability were correlated in the apical to mid region of the cochlea. but the two factors were not correlated in the basal region. Therefore, these results suggest that implantees require the ability to discriminate between stimulation on adjacent electrodes in the apical to mid region of the cochlea in order to achieve high speech perception scores.
