Abstract
Long term average speech spectra (LTASS) is a commonly used voice analysis method for different purposes. This method offers an acoustic representation of the language in daily conservations. Results of that method can be altered by the deteriorations in the auditory feedback loop. Hearing losses occurred in the post lingual stage of life have some serious negative effects on the auditory feedback loop. Cochlear implantation may help these patients with regards to auditory feedback loop. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the LTASS of cochlear implant users whose have a post lingual hearing loss. We assessed the LTASS of 24 cochlear implant users and compared our findings with normal hearing subjects. Our findings revealed that cochlear implant users have similar LTASS findings with normal hearing subjects. We conclude that cochlear implantation helps to the recovery of auditory feedback loop in patients with post lingual hearing losses.
