S. Pijl, AUDIOLOGICAL RESULTS WITH THE MSP MPEAK AND WSP/F0F1F2 PROCESSORS ANDCODING STRATEGIES FOR THE NUCLEUS COCHLEAR IMPLANT/, Journal of otolaryngology, 23(4), 1994, pp. 286-291
Seven Nucleus, multichannel, cochlear-implant recipients underwent a 4
-week trial with a Research Speech Processor (RSP). For five users of
the Wearable Speech Processor (WSPIII), the RSP consisted of a Mini Sp
eech Processor (MSP) with a MultiPeak (MPEAK) coding strategy, and for
two MSP users, a WSPIII, utilizing an F0F1F2 coding strategy was used
. Scores on an auditory-only, speech perception test battery were used
to compare performance with each device. Patients were evaluated with
their own processor before and after their RSP experience, to assess
potential practice effects. In general, the patients with higher basel
ine scores appeared to be better able to take advantage of the additio
nal information provided by the MSP/MPEAK combination.
