A new concept for Cochlear implant speech processing.

abstract：:The link between nonaudiological variables and outcomes measurement is explored. Hearing impairment can affect an individual's everyday communication in numerous ways. Both audiological and nonaudiological variables interact with each other to produce a unique predicament for each individual with hearing impairment. T...
