摘要
双侧人工耳蜗(Cochlear Implant,CI)植入者的空间听觉感知能力较差,部分原因是现有商用编码策略中时域精细结构的丢失,导致双耳时间差(Interaural Time Difference,ITD)没有被很好表达。近期有人提出了一种名为时域限制编码(Temporal Limits Encoder,TLE)的策略。TLE用移频操作引入了慢变的时域精细结构。本文在理论上分析了TLE在ITD感知方面的优势。随后开展了双侧CI仿真声实验,对比了TLE和传统的连续间隔采样策略。其中测试项目为纯音(100、300、500、700、900Hz和1100Hz)的最小可分辨ITD测试,被试为6名听力正常的青年人。测试结果表明,对于双侧CI仿真声,TLE提高了100-700Hz频率范围内的ITD灵敏度。
Bilateral cochlear implant(CI) users still do not perform well in spatial hearing perception. The absence of temporal fine structure in existing commercial strategies make interaural time difference(ITD), which is an essential cue for spatial hearing, unavailable to them. A new strategy known as the temporal limits encoder(TLE) has been proposed recently. The TLE uses a frequency down-shifting operation to introduce a slow-varying temporal fine structure. This paper theoretically analyzes the potential advantages of TLE in ITD perception. An experiment using vocoder simulation was conducted to compare the performance of TLE and CIS on ITD sensitivity. The experiment tested the minimum resolvable ITD of some vocoded pure tones(100, 300, 500, 700, 900, and 1100 Hz). Six normal hearing adults were recruited. Results showed that the TLE improved pure tone ITD sensitivity in the frequency range between 100-700 Hz for sine-wave vocoder simulation in normal hearing listeners..
