Cochlear implant and tinnitus–a meta-analysis

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2021
Introduction: Tinnitus is a frequent symptom in cochlear implant patients, often reported as persistent and disabling in implant candidates. Tinnitus is rarely considered in the preoperative evaluation of patients who are eligible for cochlear ...

Speech Recognition with Cochlea‐Inspired In‐Sensor Computing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Traditional speech recognition methods rely on software‐based feature extraction that introduces latency and high energy costs, making them unsuitable for low‐power devices. A proof‐of‐concept demonstration is provided of a bioinspired tonotopic sensor for speech recognition that mimics the human cochlea, using a spiral‐shaped elastic metamaterial. The

Audiovisual segregation in cochlear implant users. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
It has traditionally been assumed that cochlear implant users de facto perform atypically in audiovisual tasks. However, a recent study that combined an auditory task with visual distractors suggests that only those cochlear implant users that are not ...

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Effects of noise suppression and envelope dynamic range compression on the intelligibility of vocoded sentences for a tonal language [PDF]

, 2017
Vocoder simulation studies have suggested that the carrier signal type employed affects the intelligibility of vocoded speech. The present work further assessed how carrier signal type interacts with additional signal processing, namely, single-channel ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Effect of cochlear implant electrode insertion on middle-ear function as measured by intra-operative laser Doppler vibrometry [PDF]

, 2009
Hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cochlear implant electrode insertion on middle-ear low frequency function in humans.Background: Preservation of residual low frequency hearing with addition of electrical speech ...

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.

Turn an Ear to Hear: How Hearing-Impaired Listeners Can Exploit Head Orientation to Enhance Their Speech Intelligibility in Noisy Social Settings

Trends in Hearing, 2018
Turning an ear toward the talker can enhance spatial release from masking. Here, with their head free, listeners attended to speech at a gradually diminishing signal-to-noise ratio and with the noise source azimuthally separated from the speech source by
