Contributions of Auditory Nerve Density and Synchrony to Speech Understanding in Older Cochlear Implant Users
These results suggest that AN dyssynchrony rather than density is the primary contributing factor to age-related declines in speech understanding in CI users. These results have important implications for better understanding neural contributions to speech understanding in adult CI users.
