Contributions of aging, auditory nerve health, and speed of processing to psychophysical gap detection thresholds in cochlear implant users.

Precise encoding of temporal speech cues is critical for speech understanding and are especially important for cochlear implant (CI) users, who receive limited spectral information. Silent gap detection is a simple index of auditory temporal precision, yet mechanisms and stimulus parameters driving variability in CI ga...
