Abstract | Previously, selection of l channels was prioritized according to formant frequency locations in an l-of-n-of-m-based signal processing strategy to provide important voicing information independent of listening environments for cochlear implant (CI) users. In this study, ideal, or ground truth, formants were incorporated into the selection stage to determine the effect of accuracy on (1) subjective speech intelligibility, (2) objective channel selection patterns, and (3) objective stimulation patterns (current). An average +11% improvement (p < 0.05) was observed across six CI users in quiet, but not for noise or reverberation conditions. Analogous increases in channel selection and current for the upper range of F1 and a decrease across mid-frequencies with higher corresponding current, were both observed at the expense of noise-dominant channels. Objective channel selection patterns were analyzed a second time to determine the effects of estimation approach and number of selected channels (n). A significant effect of estimation approach was only observed in the noise and reverberation condition with minor differences in channel selection and significantly decreased stimulated current. Results suggest that estimation method, accuracy, and number of channels in the proposed strategy using ideal formants may improve intelligibility when corresponding stimulated current of formant channels are not masked by noise-dominant channels. |
