To date, the role of spectral and temporal cues in pitch perception with cochlear implants (CIs) remains debated. Previous research has indicated that pitch perception of CI users depends mainly on temporal cues. However, these studies used either well-controlled but artificial stimuli or indirect measures to assess cues. Using a novel approach, we have directly quantified the relative...

Pitch perception by cochlear-implant (CI) users is generally poor both due to technical limitations as well as biological constraints. Nevertheless, delivering sufficient information to provide the best possible pitch percept is important. Here we explore the feasibility of CI processing strategies that aim to improve pitch perception by presenting information on the stimulus temporal fine...

Cochlear implants (CIs) reliably restore speech perception in quiet, but are widely assumed to provide no access to musical harmony due to spectro-temporal interactions at the electrode-nerve interface. While temporal fine structure is crucial for pitch perception in normal-hearing (NH) listeners, its role in CI perception is unclear. We therefore investigated whether spectrally sparse coding...

Local-global temporal auditory processing reflects how complex auditory scenes are organized over time, with global processing typically dominating local processing. This study investigates how aided hearing impaired (aHI) listening shapes the local-global processing and its interaction with increased salience on local elements.In a psychophysical task, on each trial participants (young Normal...

Hearing and identifying emotional prosody (the tone and manner of speaking that conveys emotions) is a key element of spoken communication. Voice pitch inflections are a dominant cue for emotional prosody, but sensitivity to voice pitch is reduced in cochlear implant patients relative to normally hearing peers, likely accounting for their impaired performance in emotion identification. In this...

Social interactions require interpreting intentions and mental states, often conveyed via speech prosody. This study investigated the impact of sensorineural hearing loss and hearing aids on the perception of paralinguistic prosody conveying intentions. The performance and the confidence of adults with typical hearing and of experienced hearing aid users were evaluated in two classification...

Emotional prosody plays an role in social communication, yet little is known about how children with hearing loss express emotions through speech. This research combines findings from three studies investigating emotional prosodic expression in children with cochlear implants, children with hearing aids, and children with normal hearing.Across the studies, speech recordings of Dutch-speaking...
