Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over short distances...

Summary

Children with cochlear implants (cCI) show reduced spectro-temporal resolution, impacting speech perception. The Spectro-Temporal Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) effectively assesses this ability and related factors in cCI.

Area of Science:

Audiology
Neuroscience
Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

Spectro-temporal resolution is crucial for auditory processing and speech perception.
Children with cochlear implants (cCI) often face challenges in auditory development.
Understanding spectro-temporal resolution in cCI is vital for improving auditory rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review studies assessing spectro-temporal resolution in cCI.
To examine the relationship between spectro-temporal resolution and speech perception in cCI.
To identify factors influencing spectro-temporal resolution in cCI.

Main Methods:

Systematic review of 193 articles, selecting seven relevant studies.
Utilized the Spectro-Temporal Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) across all selected studies.
Analyzed SMRT thresholds, speech perception scores, and associated demographic/technological factors.

Main Results:

Children with cochlear implants (cCI) exhibited significantly higher SMRT thresholds compared to normal-hearing children.
A strong correlation was observed between SMRT thresholds and speech perception abilities.
Chronological age, age at implantation, duration of implant use, cognitive function, and training influenced spectro-temporal resolution.

Conclusions:

The Spectro-Temporal Modulated Ripple Test (SMRT) is a valuable tool for assessing young children with cochlear implants (cCI).
SMRT performance correlates significantly with speech perception outcomes in cCI.
Variations in results across studies may stem from demographic and technological differences in cochlear implant systems.
