    This study introduces a novel electrode system for deaf adults, delivering larynx frequency speech patterns to improve hearing sensation and speech skills. The technology enhances speech reception and production through interactive methods and self-monitoring for better auditory capacity.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Audiology

    Background:

    • Prosthetic devices aim to restore sensory function in individuals with disabilities.
    • Totally deaf adults often have limited options for auditory rehabilitation.
    • Existing cochlear implants may not be suitable for all patients, especially those without a tympanic membrane.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate an electrode arrangement for providing hearing sensation to totally deaf adults.
    • To deliver larynx frequency speech pattern information tailored to individual auditory capacity.
    • To enhance both speech reception and speech production skills in deafened adults.

    Main Methods:

    • An external electrode arrangement placed near the cochlea was used.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Larynx frequency speech pattern information was processed and presented to match patient's auditory capacity.
  • Speech reception was assessed using interactive synthetic speech, video lipreading, and conversational presentations.
  • Speech production was improved through self-monitoring techniques.

    • Main Results:

    • The electrode system successfully provided a sensation of hearing by delivering processed speech pattern information.
    • Significant improvements in speech reception were observed through various interactive techniques.
    • Enhanced speech production skills were demonstrated, including voice range improvement and jitter reduction.
    • The electrode system proved suitable for promontory stimulation in adults lacking a tympanic membrane.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel electrode system offers a viable method for providing auditory sensation and improving speech abilities in totally deaf adults.
    • The approach of matching processed speech patterns to individual auditory capacity is effective.
    • The technology holds promise for the design of conservative auditory prostheses for both adults and children.
