Abstrakt: Many variables affect the audiologic performance of cochlear implantees. With current methods of evaluation, it is difficult to directly compare auditory function with different speech coding strategies. We compared the audiologic performance directly with F0F1F2 and multipeak speech coding strategies in the same implanted ear of eight Korean cochlear implantees. We tested word and phoneme recognition abilities using Korean word lists for speech audiometry and two-syllable nonsense words, respectively. With the multipeak coding strategy, a significant difference in discrimination ability was found in the initial fricative consonant phonemes (/s/,/ss/,/h/). Our results suggest that the improvement of speech recognition ability with the multipeak coding strategy comes primarily from the better understanding of the initial fricative consonants.
