Perception and prediction of loudness in sound coding strategies using simultaneous electric stimulation.

Abstract:

:Cochlear Implant (CI) sound coding strategies based on simultaneous stimulation lead to an increased loudness percept when compared to sequential stimulation using the same current levels. This is due to loudness summation as a result of channel interactions. Studying the loudness perception evoked by dual-channels compared to single-channels can be useful to optimize sound coding strategies that use simultaneous current pulses. Fourteen users of HiRes90k implants and one user of a CII implant loudness balanced single-channel to dual-channel stimuli with varying distance between simultaneous channels. In this study each component of a dual channel was a virtual channel, which shared current across two adjacent electrodes. Balancing was performed at threshold and comfortable level, for two spatial references (apical and basal) and for dual-channels with different relative current ratios. Increasing distance between dual-channels decreased the amount of current compensation in the dual-channel required to reach equal loudness to a single channel component by an average of 0.24 dB / mm without a significant difference between threshold and most comfortable level. If the components of the dual-channels were not at equal loudness, the loudness summation was reduced with respect to the equal loudness case. The results were incorporated into an existing loudness model by McKay et al. (2003). The predictions from the adapted model were evaluated by comparing the loudness evoked by simultaneous and sequential sound coding strategies. The application of the adapted model resulted in a deviation between predicted and actual behavioral loudness balancing adjustments in electrical level between simultaneous and sequential processing strategies of 0.24 dB on average.
