This study indicates that Mandarin-speaking subjects acquire significant benefit from a cochlear implant (CI) and audio processor with the fine structure processing (FSP) coding strategy. It can take adult Mandarin CI users time to become accustomed to their CI and appreciate the benefits.
This study aimed to determine speech perception outcomes in Mandarin-speaking adults who received the FSP coding strategy.
This was a prospective study. Ten adults who were implanted unilaterally with a PULSARCI(100), and received an OPUS 1 or OPUS 2 speech processor, were included in this study. The mean age at implantation was 31.1 years. We determined the benefit to postlingually deafened Mandarin-speaking adults with a severe to profound hearing loss using the tests: monosyllables in quiet, sentences in quiet and the Mandarin Hearing in Noise Test (MHINT). Tone perception was evaluated using a tone perception test. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to score sound quality and ease of listening.
The results showed a significant improvement between first fitting and 6 months in all speech tests and in tone perception. The VAS scores showed a significant improvement over 6 months in sound quality and an immediate benefit in ease of listening.
本研究表明，使用具有精细结构处理（FSP）编码策略的人工耳蜗（CI）和音频处理器，说普通话的受试者可获得显著益处。成年普通话人工耳蜗使用者需要时间来适应他们的人工耳蜗并体会到这些益处。
本研究旨在确定接受FSP编码策略的成年普通话使用者的言语感知结果。
这是一项前瞻性研究。本研究纳入了10名单侧植入PULSAR CI(100)并使用OPUS 1或OPUS 2言语处理器的成年人。植入时的平均年龄为31.1岁。我们使用以下测试确定重度至极重度听力损失的语后聋成年普通话使用者的获益情况：安静环境下的单音节、安静环境下的句子以及普通话噪声下听力测试（MHINT）。使用声调感知测试评估声调感知。使用视觉模拟量表（VAS）对声音质量和聆听舒适度进行评分。
结果显示，在所有言语测试和声调感知方面，首次佩戴与6个月时相比有显著改善。VAS评分显示，在6个月内声音质量有显著改善，聆听舒适度立即得到改善。
