TL;DR

While reading skills were found to be weaker in the CI group, the absence of a direct correlation between VEP/saccadic parameters and reading scores suggests that lower-level sensory processing and higher-order reading comprehension may operate through distinct mechanisms.

Electrophysiological responses in relation to speech perception in children with cochlear implants

Speech perception is a critical outcome of pediatric cochlear implantation, reflecting the effectiveness of auditory signal transmission and cortical processing for functional communication. Objective electrophysiological measures may provide valuable insight into neural discrimination and cortical auditory encoding, p...

The Effect of Between-Ear Speech Perception Asymmetry on Localization, Spoken Language, and Literacy for Adolescents With Cochlear Implants.

PURPOSE This study aimed to examine the effects of between-ear speech perception asymmetry on localization, spoken language, and reading in adolescents with early cochlear implants (CIs). METHOD Eighty adolescents, who have long-term bilateral device use, participated: 10 with bimodal (BM) devices (CI plus hearing ai...

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...

Temporal Auditory Resolution, Timed Motor Responses to Auditory Cues, and Phonological Processing in Swedish Children with Cochlear Implants and Normal Hearing Peers

Background: Hearing with a cochlear implant (CI) presents challenges for speech perception, particularly in acoustically complex environments. Auditory temporal resolution, defined as the ability to detect brief changes in an ongoing acoustic signal, is one factor that may contribute to these difficulties. Accurate dis...

Assessment of working memory components in children with cochlear implants: evidence for modality-specific deficits

Cochlear implants (CIs) restore auditory sensation, yet pediatric users frequently exhibit persistent deficits in higher-order language and cognitive skills. Working memory (WM) is a critical predictor of language acquisition and academic achievement. This study aimed to characterize the WM profile of school-aged child...

Impact of visual mouth image presentation on speech perception in noise in normal hearing subjects and cochlear implant users

This study investigated the impact of visual speech cues on speech perception in noise and subjective listening effort in cochlear implant (CI) users compared with normal-hearing (NH) individuals. Furthermore, the study compared visual information presented either by a computer-generated avatar or by video recordings o...
