Speech-in-noise, psychosocial, and heart rate variability outcomes of group singing or audiobook club interventions for older adults with unaddressed hearing loss: A SingWell Project multisite, randomized controlled trial, registered report protocol Open
Background Unaddressed age-related hearing loss is highly prevalent among older adults, typified by negative consequences for speech-in-noise perception and psychosocial wellbeing. There is promising evidence that group singing may enhance…

Vocal and musical emotion perception, voice cue discrimination, and quality of life in cochlear implant users with and without acoustic hearing Open
This study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of auditory emotion perception in cochlear implant (CI) users by (1) investigating emotion categorization in both vocal (pseudo-speech) and musical domains and (2) how individual differenc…

Speech-on-speech perception in adult cochlear implant users: Benefits from voice differences Open
Speech-on-speech perception remains a challenge for many cochlear implant (CI) users.In normal-hearing listeners, differences in voice characteristics such as F0 and vocaltract length (VTL), which indicate age, sex and size of the speaker,…

Musical Emotion Categorization with Vocoders of Varying Temporal and Spectral Content Open
While previous research investigating music emotion perception of cochlear implant (CI) users observed that temporal cues informing tempo largely convey emotional arousal (relaxing/stimulating), it remains unclear how other properties of t…

Carbamazepine induces upward frequency shifts of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions Open
In three subjects, we measured spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) when they were using carbamazepine (CBZ), and compared this to the SOAE measurement when they were not using CBZ. We observed 14 SOAEs showing a consistent upward shi…

Music emotion perception with a cochlear implant: Can valence perception be predicted by other metrics? Open
Although some cochlear implant (CI) listeners enjoy music, for others, music appreciation remains limited.Numerous studies have observed that perceiving musical emotions, i.e., the emotion depicted by a musical excerpt, was hindered due to…
View article: Self-reported music perception is related to quality of life and self-reported hearing abilities in cochlear implant users
Self-reported music perception is related to quality of life and self-reported hearing abilities in cochlear implant users Open
The findings suggest some relationship between CI users' self-reported music perception ability and QoL and self-reported hearing ability. While the causal relationship is not currently evaluated, the findings may imply that music training…

An auditory brainstem implant for treatment of unilateral tinnitus: protocol for an interventional pilot study Open
Introduction Tinnitus may have a very severe impact on the quality of life. Unfortunately, for many patients, a satisfactory treatment modality is lacking. The auditory brainstem implant (ABI) was originally indicated for hearing restorati…

The Cochlear Implant EEG Artifact Recorded From an Artificial Brain for Complex Acoustic Stimuli Open
The CI EEG artifact for speech appears more difficult to detect than for simple stimuli. Since the artifact differs across CI users, due to their individual clinical maps, the method presented enables insight into the individual manifestat…

Comparison of Two Music Training Approaches on Music and Speech Perception in Cochlear Implant Users Open
In normal-hearing (NH) adults, long-term music training may benefit music and speech perception, even when listening to spectro-temporally degraded signals as experienced by cochlear implant (CI) users. In this study, we compared two diffe…

A Retrospective Multicenter Study Comparing Speech Perception Outcomes for Bilateral Implantation and Bimodal Rehabilitation Open
This retrospective study, based on basic speech audiometry (no lateralization cues), indicates that, on average, a second CI is likely to provide slightly better postoperative speech outcome than an additional HA for people with very low p…
