Convolutional Neural Network-based Speech Enhancement for Cochlear Implant Recipients [PDF]
Attempts to develop speech enhancement algorithms with improved speech intelligibility for cochlear implant (CI) users have met with limited success. To improve speech enhancement methods for CI users, we propose to perform speech enhancement in a cochlear filter-bank feature space, a feature-set specifically designed for CI users based on CI auditory ...

Effects of simultaneous speech and sign on infants’ attention to spoken language [PDF]
Objectives: To examine the hypothesis that infants receiving a degraded auditory signal have more difficulty segmenting words from fluent speech if familiarized with the words presented in both speech and sign compared to familiarization with the words ...

Pediatric Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction: A Review of 26 Cases
We report a pediatric cohort of patients with peripheral bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH) at a multidisciplinary, tertiary care pediatric vestibular clinic. Patients frequently had history of sensorineural hearing loss and developmental delays, with associated vestibulo‐ocular reflex (VOR) impairments during testing.

Quantifying Cochlear Implant Users' Ability for Speaker Identification using CI Auditory Stimuli [PDF]
Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that uses underlying speech information to determine the identity of the speaker. Speaker Identification (SID) under noisy conditions is one of the challenging topics in the field of speech processing, specifically when it comes to individuals with cochlear implants (CI).

Parent Interaction Between an Infant with a Cochlear Implant and Additional Disabilities [PDF]
Pediatric hearing loss has many spoken language learning issues that can impact parent-infant interaction. Moreover, additional disabilities are likely to increase stress, which could have cascading effects on communication.

Access to Cochlear Implantation: Trends in Surgeon Volume and Training
Based on data from one cochlear implant (CI) manufacturer, a minority of surgeons (12.5%) registered 25 or more devices per year. Of those who register 25 or more devices per year, 88% have one or two years of fellowship training in otology and/or neurotology (O&N).

Durations of repeated non-words for children with cochlear implants [PDF]
Durations of syllables for repeated non-words were calculated for 76 children with cochlear implants (CIs) and 16 children with normal hearing (NH). Average syllable durations did not differ significantly between the groups, however a final syllable ...

Hearing Loss and Its Relation to Loneliness and Depression—A Population‐Based Cohort Study
This study investigated the relationship between hearing loss, loneliness, and depression using data from the Gutenberg Health Study. It found that hearing loss is significantly associated with higher levels of loneliness and depressive symptoms, with severe to complete hearing loss markedly increasing risks for loneliness and mild to severe hearing ...
