Main Results:

  • Temporal coding with fewer channels is advantageous for speech and complex tones.
  • Analog stimuli offer benefits over pulsatile stimuli in certain aspects.
  • Key parameters for perceiving vowels, consonants, pitch, and loudness were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Temporal coding strategies are effective for cochlear implant sound processing.
  • Analog stimulation may enhance perception compared to pulsatile methods.
  • Active rehabilitation is essential for maximizing the benefits of cochlear prostheses.
