My task here is to evaluate the “auditory” perception provided to subjects fitted with single-channel cochlear implants and to contemplate the limits that such single-channel devices place on the individuals’ perceptual experience. In the pursuance of this task, I will summarize briefly the “auditory” results obtained with such subjects, relying most heavily on my own work,* and will then try to relate these findings to current theories of auditory perception and of information processing.From the standpoint of how the acoustic signals were coded electrically, it should be noted that we did not have experimental control of the encoding, but tested the subjects with the wearable stimulators as they used them routinely. Of the 12 subjects for whom data were obtained, 10 were patients of Dr. William F. House and used the Urban device, which amplitude modulated, nonlinearly, the signal voltage onto a 16-kHz carrier; while the other two were patients of Dr. Robin P. Michelson and used a device that delivered an analog voltage to the implanted electrode. This restriction was a condition of the contract with NINCDS under which the evaluation was c0nducted. a We were permitted, however, to conduct electroacoustic studies of the stimulators as the subjects wore them. 2
