Central auditory processing disorders and reduced motivation: three case studies.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Use of personal frequency modulated (FM) systems significantly improves speech recognition in noise for users of cochlear implants (CI). There are, however, a number of adjustable parameters of the cochlear implant and FM receiver that may affect performance and benefit, and there is limited evidence to guid...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Various methods have been used to measure temporal-fine-structure (TFS) sensitivity in hearing-impaired (HI) listeners. A new method called TFS-adaptive frequency (TFS-AF) test, tracks the highest frequency up to which a person can detect a given interaural phase difference (IPD) in bursts of pure tones. So ...
