Article Synopsis
- Cochlear implant users who preserved some hearing showed improved speech recognition when using electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS), but outcomes varied due to mismatches in frequency mapping.
- In a study, 21 participants were assigned to either default or place-based mapping procedures to assess how electric mismatches affected their speech recognition over time.
- Results indicated that participants with smaller electric mismatches performed better initially, suggesting that place-based mapping could enhance EAS outcomes, with continued research needed on long-term effects.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers conducted experiments with a female speaker to compare speech clarity in three conditions: no mask, an N95 mask, and an N95 mask with a face shield.
- * Results showed that the combo of an N95 mask and face shield significantly reduced speech recognition, highlighting the need for effective protective measures that do not compromise communication, especially in clinical settings.
