Abstract
This study examines the effects of 3 types of instrumental accompaniments (piano, guitar, piano + guitar) and contrasting CI groups (long electrode-LE; bilateral long electrode-Bilat; long electrode + hearing aid-LE+HA; short electrode with acoustic + electric stimulation-SE) on recognition of song lyrics sung by a male or female vocalist. The test was an adaptive procedure that yielded a threshold (signal to noise ratio-SNR) at 75% correct in each condition. There were significant differences in song lyrics recognition as a result of CI group, gender of vocalist, and type of instrumental accompaniment The SNRs were poorer in the male vocalist conditions and the piano + guitar conditions. The LE yielded the poorest SNRs, while the SE yielded the best SNRs.
