DOI: 10.1007/s00405-021-07189-3
Abstract: Auditory feedback (AF) contributes to speech intelligibility (SI) which is vital in social interactions to examine AF effect on SI of adults with cochlear implant (CI). The relationship between age of CI implantation and AF… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anorl.2020.12.003
Abstract: INTRODUCTION In audiology, the usual tests of speech perception in silence are non-predictive of intelligibility in noise. The French Matrix was developed to assess intelligibility in noise in adults with normal cognitive capacity. A simplified… read more here.
