Abstract
Although much is known about how normal-hearing listeners process spoken words under ideal listening conditions, little is known about how a degraded signal, such as speech transmitted via cochlear implants, affects the word recognition process. In this study, gated word recognition performance was measured with the goal of describing the time course of word identification by using a noise-band vocoder simulation. The results of this study demonstrate that spectral degradations can impact the temporal aspects of speech processing. These results also provide insights into the potential advantages of enhancing spectral resolution in the processing of spoken words.
