Forward-masked psychophysical tuning curves via wireless Bluetooth to evaluate frequency selectivity of cochlear implant channels
Meisam Arjmandi1,2, Julie Arenberg1,2 1Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA2Audiology Division, Massachusetts Eye and Ear, Boston, MA, USA Psychophysical tuning curves (PTCs) are effective measures to evaluate frequency selectivity in listeners with cochlear implants (CIs). We are developing a fast and reliable method to measure 5-point PTCs using acoustic stimulation …
