Abstract
English-speaking bimodal and bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users can segregate competing speech using talker sex cues but not spatial cues. While tonal language experience allows for greater utilization of talker sex cues for listeners with normal hearing, tonal language benefits remain unclear for CI users. The present study assessed the ability of Mandarin-speaking bilateral and bimodal CI users to recognize target sentences amidst speech maskers that varied in terms of spatial cues and/or talker sex cues, relative to the target. Different from English-speaking CI users, Mandarin-speaking CI users exhibited greater utilization of spatial cues, particularly in bimodal listening.
说英语的双模态和双侧人工耳蜗（CI）使用者可以利用说话者性别线索而不是空间线索来分离竞争性语音。对于听力正常的听者来说，音调语言经验可以让他们更多地利用谈话者性别线索，但对于 CI 用户来说，音调语言的益处仍不明确。本研究评估了讲普通话的双侧和双模 CI 用户在空间线索和/或谈话者性别线索相对于目标句子不同的语音掩蔽器中识别目标句子的能力。与讲英语的 CI 用户不同，讲普通话的 CI 用户表现出更多地利用空间线索，尤其是在双模听力中。
