| الوصف: | The temporal-limits-encoder (TLE) strategy has been proposed to enhance the representation of temporal fine structure (TFS) in cochlear implants (CIs), which is vital for many aspects of sound perception but is typically discarded by most modern CI strategies. TLE works by computing an envelope modulator that is within the temporal pitch limits of CI electric hearing. This paper examines the TFS information encoded by TLE and evaluates the salience and usefulness of this information in CI users. Two experiments were conducted to compare pitch perception performance of TLE versus the widely-used Advanced Combinational Encoder (ACE) strategy. Experiment 1 investigated whether TLE processing improved pitch discrimination compared to ACE. Experiment 2 parametrically examined the effect of changing the lower frequency limit of the TLE modulator on pitch ranking. In both experiments, F0 difference limens were measured with synthetic harmonic complex tones using an adaptive procedure. Signal analysis of the outputs of TLE and ACE strategies showed that TLE introduces important temporal pitch cues that are not available with ACE. Results showed an improvement in pitch discrimination with TLE when the acoustic input had a lower F0 frequency. No significant effect of lower frequency limit was observed for pitch ranking, though a lower limit did tend to provide better outcomes. These results suggest that the envelope modulation introduced by TLE can improve pitch perception for CI listeners. |
