Current steering seems to have the potential to improve both understanding in adverse listening situations and frequency resolution. However, the optimal implementation needs further investigation.
On average, speech perception performance increased significantly when changing from conventional speech coding strategies to High Resolution Mode. Subjects who preferred continous interleaved sampling (CIS) in standard mode appeared to obtain better results with rates of 2500 or 3000 pps/ch than with 5000 pps/ch. The stimulation rate that led to best performance provided the highest stimulation current efficiency in the majority of subjects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
