Although cochlear implantation results in significantly improved speech recognition for adults and children with profound hearing loss (Geier et al, 1999;Svirsky and Meyer, 1999;, persons with cochlear implants (CIs) continue to have significant difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments (Battmer et al, 1997;Dorman et al, 1998;Hamzavi et al, 2001;Fetterman and Dominco, 2002).…”
