Listening efficiency in adult cochlear-implant users compared with normally-hearing controls at ecologically relevant signal-to-noise ratios (2023)
Journal Article
Perea Pérez, F., Hartley, D. E. H., Kitterick, P. T., Zekveld, A. A., Naylor, G., & Wiggins, I. M. (2023). Listening efficiency in adult cochlear-implant users compared with normally-hearing controls at ecologically relevant signal-to-noise ratios. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 17, Article 1214485. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2023.1214485

Introduction: Due to having to work with an impoverished auditory signal, cochlear-implant (CI) users may experience reduced speech intelligibility and/or increased listening effort in real-world listening situations, compared to their normally-heari...

Visual Speech Benefit in Clear and Degraded Speech Depends on the Auditory Intelligibility of the Talker and the Number of Background Talkers (2019)
Journal Article
Blackburn, C. L., Kitterick, P. T., Jones, G., Sumner, C. J., & Stacey, P. C. (2019). Visual Speech Benefit in Clear and Degraded Speech Depends on the Auditory Intelligibility of the Talker and the Number of Background Talkers. Trends in Hearing, 23, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216519837866

Perceiving speech in background noise presents a significant challenge to listeners. Intelligibility can be improved by seeing the face of a talker. This is of particular value to hearing impaired people and users of cochlear implants. It is well kno...
