Abstract

The author visited Innsbruck (Austria) to evaluate the performance of nine of the better patients implanted in Europe with the 3M/Vienna single-channel cochlear implant. Word- and sentence-level speech recognition tests recorded in German by two speakers from Austria were presented. Performance varied from 15% to 86% correct word recognition on the sentence material, 11% to 57% correct word recognition with word lists, and 21% and 66% correct phoneme recognition on the word tests. These results confirm earlier studies indicating that high levels of open-set word recognition without visual cues can be obtained with the 3M/Vienna single-channel cochlear implant.
