High levels of speech recognition have been obtained with cochlear implant users in quiet conditions. In noisy environments, speech recognition deteriorates considerably, especially in speech-like noise. The aim of this ...

A comparison of the ability of different spatial filters to reduce the amount of crosstalk in a surface electromyography (sEMG) measurement was conducted. It focused on the influence of different properties of the muscle ...

Cochlear implants are electronic devices intended for restoring hearing to the profoundly deaf. Unfortunately the degree of restored hearing varies greatly between subjects. To investigate some of the mechanisms that ...

A finite element (FE) model for the generation of single fiber action potentials (SFAPs) in a muscle undergoing various degrees of fiber shortening has been developed. The muscle is assumed to be fusiform with muscle fibers ...

The degree of hearing restoration provided by the cochlear implant is prone to inter-subject variance. The objective of this study is to account for some of the factors influencing this through a subject-specific model ...

Damage to a cochlear implant (CI) user’s auditory nerve fibres (ANFs) is one of the factors that may contribute to poor performance with the implant, likely because neural propagation of the electrical signal from the ...
