Speech perception results in children implanted with clarion devices: Hi-resolution and Standar resolution modes

Conclusions Formal testing showed that HiRes users seem to make significant use of acoustic information. Furthermore, from observations reported by experienced care-givers, for example, family, teachers and speech therapists, these children learn a lot from their surrounding environment. Incidental learning, which takes place when acquiring skills or knowledge through naturally occurring events, is a key become available to these deaf paediatric cochlear implant recipients. Objective To compare speech perception skills in children with a Clarion® cochlear implant using different speech coding strategies, such as continuous interleaved sampling (CIS), simultaneous analogue stimulation (SAS) and Hi-Resolution (HiRes)™.
