Nonlinear Cochlear Filter for Treatment of Hearing Deficits

AbstractA major problem with people who are deaf and receive cochlear implants is the perception of music. While speech is processed by cochlear implants in a fairly reasonable way, music sounds like horrific noisy traffic to someone with a cochlear implant. This is a major detriment to healthy living. Current research in the Portfors lab focuses on...
