Performance of postlinguistically deaf adults using multipeak and MPEAK+A0 speech coding strategies with the nucleus cochlear implant system [Abstract]
Peter Allen Jones · Minerva Access (University of Melbourne) · 1993
Two independent evaluations of a new speech coding strategy for the Nucleus cochlear implant system, MPEAK+AO, were conducted. The MPEAK+AO strategy adds to the standard Multipeak strategy an extra pulse per each FO-based stimulus period. This additional stimulation is delivered to the most apical electrode in the user's array and represents the amplitude envelope of the low frequency portion of the acoustic signal associated with the voice fundamental.
