摘要
Learning electrically stimulated speech patterns can be a new and difficult experience for many cochlear implant users. In the present study, ten cochlear implant patients participated in an auditory training program using speech stimuli. Training was conducted at home using a personal computer for 1 hour per day, 5 days per week, for a period of 1 month or longer. Results showed a significant improvement in all patients' speech perception performance. These results suggest that moderate auditory training using a computer-based auditory rehabilitation tool can be an effective approach for improving the speech perception performance of cochlear implant patients.
