2008 NOV 25 -- A new study, 'Mandarin Chinese tone identification in cochlear implants: predictions from acoustic models,' is now available. According to a study from the United States, "It has been established that current cochlear implants do not supply adequate spectral information for perception of tonal languages. Comprehension of a tonal language, such as Mandarin Chinese, requires recognition of lexical tones."
"New strategies of cochlear stimulation such as variable stimulation rate and current steering may provide the means of delivering more spectral information and thus may provide the auditory fine-structure required for tone recognition....
