    Abstract Understanding speech in background noise, talker identification, and vocal emotion recognition are challenging for cochlear implant (CI) users due to poor spectral resolution and limited pitch cues with the CI. Recent studies have shown that bimodal CI users, that is, those CI users who wear a hearing aid (HA) in their non-implanted ear, receive benefit for understanding speech both in quiet and in noise. This study compared the efficacy of talker-identification training in two groups of young normal-hearing adults, listening to either acoustic simulations of unilateral CI or bimodal (CI+HA) hearing. Training resulted in improved identification of talkers for both groups with better overall performance for simulated bimodal hearing. Generalization of learning to sentence and emotion recognition also was assessed in both subject groups. Sentence recognition in quiet and in noise improved for both groups, no matter if the talkers had been heard during training or not. Generalization to improvements in emotion recognition for two unfamiliar talkers also was noted for both groups with the simulated bimodal-hearing group showing better overall emotion-recognition performance. Improvements in sentence recognition were retained a month after training in both groups. These results have potential implications for aural rehabilitation of conventional and bimodal CI users.

    Abstract This investigation compared the speech perception skills of children with prelingual profound deafness who used the multichannel Tactaid 7 (TA7) (n = 9) to those of a matched group of children who used the Nucleus 22-channel cochlear implant (CI) (n = 10) at a predevice interval, and after an average of 1.8 years of multichannel device use. Performance was assessed with closed-set measures of phoneme and word recognition, and on an open-set test of phrase recognition. Several measures evaluated perception with cues from the device alone; one measure assessed device-plus-lipreading performance. The results demonstrated that the CI group's performance improved significantly between the pre- and postdevice intervals on all measures. The scores of the TA7 users showed little change with increased device use, except on the measure of closed-set word recognition and the measure of sentence perception with lipreading, on which small improvements were observed. As a result, the scores of the CI group were significantly higher than those of the TA7 group on all measures at the postdevice interval. The speech perception abilities of the CI and the TA7 groups at the postdevice interval were next compared to that of matched children with prelingual deafness who used conventional hearing aids (HA). Hearing aid subjects were grouped by unaided thresholds: Gold subjects (PTA = 94 dB HL) and Silver subjects (PTA = 103 dB HL). The performance of the Tactaid 7 group was significantly poorer than that of the Gold HA subjects on all measures, and poorer than that of the Silver HA subjects on open-set sentence recognition in the auditory-only modality. In contrast, there were no significant differences between the performance of the CI group and the two HA groups. The current results suggest that children with CIs learned to recognize words and understand speech without lipreading, and that their speech perception abilities approach that of children with profound hearing impairment who obtain some benefit from conventional amplification. However, children with the TA7 demonstrated only limited speech understanding, even when auditory cues were combined with speechreading.
