Speech recognition in noisy environments remains a challenge for cochlear implant (CI) recipients. Unwanted charge interactions between current pulses, both within and electrode channels, are likely to impair performance. Here we investigate the effect of reducing number pulses on speech perception. This was achieved by implementing psychoacoustic temporal-masking model where each channel were passed through temporal integrator identify remove that less be perceived recipient. The decision...
Spatial hearing is critical for communication in everyday sound-rich environments. It important to gain an understanding of how well users bilateral devices function these conditions. The purpose this work was evaluate a Virtual Acoustics (VA) version the Speech Noise (SSiN) test, SSiN-VA. This implementation uses relatively inexpensive equipment and can be performed outside clinic, allowing regular monitoring spatial-hearing performance. SSiN-VA simultaneously assesses speech discrimination...
Temporal processing by cochlear implant listeners is degraded and affected auditory deprivation. The fast-acting Kv3.1 potassium channel important for sustained temporally accurate firing also susceptible to deprivation, the effects of which can be partially restored in animals molecule AUT00063. We report results a randomised placebo-controlled double-blind study on psychophysical tests AUT00063 temporal CI listeners. measured upper limit pitch, gap detection, discrimination low rates...
It has been suggested that a specialized high-temporal-acuity brainstem pathway can be activated by stimulating more apically in the cochlea than is achieved cochlear implants (CIs) when programmed with contemporary clinical settings. We performed multiple experiments to test effect on pitch perception of phantom stimulation and asymmetric current pulses, both supposedly beyond most apical electrode CI. The two stimulus types were generated using bipolar pair, composed array neighboring,...

It has been suggested that a specialised high-temporal-acuity brainstem pathway can be activated by stimulating more apically in the cochlea than is achieved cochlear implants (CIs) when programmed with contemporary clinical settings. Muliple experiments were carried out to test effect of phantom stimulation and asymmetric current pulses, both supposedly beyond most apical electrode CI, on pitch perception. The two stimulus types generated using bipolar pair, composed array neighbouring,...
This paper uses one of the largest surveys financial advisors to shed light on key drivers advisory firm growth. Firms offering a larger variety services, such as education planning and account aggregation, experience significantly higher growth in assets under management (AUM), revenue, clients. that source new clients from multiple sources meet with more prospects also grow more. The strongest detractors appear be rising average age client base lack succession plan or exit strategy.
Active bone-conducting hearing devices (aBCHD; e.g., MEDEL Bonebridge® (BB)) and active middle ear implants (aMEI; Vibrant Soundbridge® (VSB)) use radio frequency transmission to send information from an external microphone sound processor internally implanted transducer. These potentially have advantage over with percutaneous links because the skin is closed implantable components, which should reduce risk of problems infection. On other hand, surgical procedures are more complex, a greater...
