Multiple-channel electrical stimulation of the hearing nerve in conjunction with speechreading has helped 2 post-lingually deaf patients with total hearing losses understand running speech in every day situations. This was confirmed using open-set phonetically balanced word tests, where the patients achieved 60 and 40% scores with isolated-words and 80 and 73% for phonemes in isolated words. The tests also showed that the cochlear implant improved word recognition by a factor of 4 in 1 patient and 2 in another, compared with speechreading alone. The speech processor used, extracted the voicing frequency and energy and the frequency and energy of the dominant spectral peak in the mid-frequency range. The parameters for voicing determined the rate of stimulation for all electrodes and the parameters for the dominant spectral peak in the mid-frequency range determined the site of electrode stimulation and current level.
