This review article provides a theoretical overview of the development of spectral resolution in children with normal hearing (cNH) and in those who use cochlear implants (CIs), with an emphasis on methodological considerations. The aim was to identify key directions for future research on spectral resolution development in children with CIs.
A comprehensive literature review was conducted to summarize and synthesize previously published behavioral research on spectral resolution development in normal and impaired auditory systems.
In cNH, performance on spectral resolution tasks continues to improve through the teenage years and is likely driven by gradual maturation of across-channel intensity resolution. A small but growing body of evidence from children with CIs suggests a more complex relationship between spectral resolution development, patient demographics, and the quality of the CI electrode-neuron interface. Future research should aim to distinguish between the effects of patient-specific variables and the underlying physiology on spectral resolution abilities in children of all ages who are hard of hearing and use auditory prostheses.
本文综述了正常听力儿童(cNH)和使用人工耳蜗(CI)儿童的光谱分辨率发展的理论概述,重点介绍了方法学方面的考虑。目的是确定未来关于 CI 儿童光谱分辨率发展的研究的关键方向。
进行了全面的文献综述,以总结和综合正常和受损听觉系统中关于光谱分辨率发展的已发表的行为研究。
在 cNH 中,通过青少年时期,在跨通道强度分辨率逐渐成熟的情况下,对光谱分辨率任务的表现不断提高。来自 CI 儿童的越来越多的证据表明,光谱分辨率发展、患者人口统计学和 CI 电极-神经元界面的质量之间存在更为复杂的关系。未来的研究应旨在区分特定患者变量和潜在生理学对所有年龄段的患有听力障碍并使用听觉假体的儿童的光谱分辨率能力的影响。
