Speech recognition performance with dual-microphone audio processors in mandarin-speaking cochlear implant users
Lian Hui
BackgroundCochlear implant (CI) audio processor upgrades have demonstrated speech recognition benefits in non-tonal language populations, but high-level evidence for native Mandarin-speaking CI users (a tonal language with unique signal processing requirements) remains critically limited. This study aimed to assess the speech perception performance of the SONNET 2 and RONDO 3 dual-microphone audio processors in native Mandarin-speaking CI users.MethodsThis prospective single-subject repeated-mea
