Abstract | This study investigated the perception of vowels and diphthongs perception of
congenital profound bilateral hearing impaired children with cochlear implants (CI).
The CI children’s age was ranged from 2:04 to 6:01, and nine CI children were
matched with nine hearing children. A closed-set speech perception task was
administrated. High-front vowel was found to be the easiest vowel to be perceived,
due to the greatest perception difference in the first two formant frequency. The
perception of diphthongs was related to their feature complexity. Diphthongs with
feature complexity 1 and 2 were easiest to be perceived, while diphthongs with
feature complexity 3 and 4 were more difficult to be perceived. With two year
duration of cochlear implantation, CI children could catch up with normal hearing
children in their perception of vowels and diphthongs. To conclude, cochlear implants
helped children with profound hearing loss in the perception of vowels and
diphthongs. |
