Figure 3

Illustration of the speech processing conditions for the left (L) and right ears (R). The green areas represent the range of simulated residual acoustic hearing. The circles represent the simulated electrode locations (output frequency range). The red circles represent a typical electrode insertion, and the black circles represent a deep insertion. The analysis bands (input frequency range) are shown at the right of each processing condition. The black analysis bands represent the clinical acoustic-to-electric frequency allocation and the red analysis bands represent a tonotopically matched allocation relative to a typical electrode insertion depth.
