Improvements in speech perception with an experimental nonlinear frequency compression hearing device.
TL;DR: The performance of an experimental frequency compression hearing device was evaluated using tests of speech understanding in quiet, and it was found that increasing the high-frequency gain in the conventional aids did not produce equivalent perceptual benefits.

Frequency-compression outcomes in listeners with steeply sloping audiograms
TL;DR: The experimental frequency-compression scheme provided only limited benefit to these listeners with steeply sloping hearing losses, and all but one of the subjects preferred the sound quality of the conventional hearing instruments.

Electro-acoustic stimulation. Acoustic and electric pitch comparisons.
TL;DR: Evidence was found suggesting that pitch decreased with increasing duration of CI use, suggesting that some perceptual adaptation may occur that would compensate in part for the apparent mismatch between the intracochlear position of the electrodes and the acoustic frequencies assigned to them in the sound processor.

TL;DR: For example, the authors found that physicians were more likely to experience childbirth at older ages (HR for 29-36 years, 1.35; 95% CI, 2.00-3.43; P < 0.001) and initiated childbearing significantly later than nonphysicians; the cumulative incidence of childbirth was 5% at 28.6 years in physicians and 19.4 years in non-physicians.
Comparison of two frequency-to-electrode maps for acoustic-electric stimulation
TL;DR: The combination of a cochlear implant together with hearing aid/s was effective at providing speech perception benefits for the listeners of the current study, regardless of the frequency-to-electrode allocation selected.
