Temporal organization skills in cochlear implants recipients.

Unlabelled: Processing acoustic clues from the sounds of speech depends on the proper perception of the frequency and duration of stimuli as a sequence of events.

Aim: To assess the capacity for temporal organization in users of multichannel CI.

Method: 14 normal hearing individuals formed the control group, matching in age and gender other 14 users of multichannel CI, who made up the study group, and they were assessed and compared as to the Frequency Patterns Test (FPT) and Duration Patterns Test (DPT).
