New cochlear implant research coding strategy based on the MP3^000™strategy to reintroduce the virtual channel effect

Abstract

Comparing results of pitch-ranking, a significantly reduced JND was identified. No significant effect of coding strategy on speech understanding in noise or competing-talker materials was found. Melody recognition skills were the same under all user conditions.

Learning Effects in Psychophysical Tests of Spectral and Temporal Resolution

“…Given the frequency of test intervals in the current study, which was comparable to many other take-home studies (e.g. Holden et al 2013;Neben et al 2013;Frijns et al 2013), it is possible that the duration between visits was shorter than the wash-out period and therefore a carryover effect cannot be ruled out. Although it is clear that a learning effect was present for both tests, the current study cannot identify the exact mechanism for this effect.…”
