Cochlear implantees often showed some degrees of difficulty in speech discrimination. In this task, fine temporal resolution or structure of the speech might be an important parameter for the correct discrimination. This temporal resolution could be measured using gap detection threshold. In this study, within-channel gap detection thresholds of cochlear implantees were analyzed under ipsilateral background noise conditions with various signal-to-noise ratios. Four adult cochlear implantees were examined for gap detection thresholds under quiet, +10, +5, 0, -5, -10 dB SNR conditions. These data were compared with those of normal adults (n=10) and elders (n=10) to assess the temporal ability of cochlear implantees under background noise conditions. In these results, cochlear implant group showed longest gap detection thresholds under quiet condition (mean 13.4 msec) while normal and elder groups exhibited 3.3 msec and 6.2 msec of mean values. Gap detection thresholds of cochlear implantees were deteriorated even more under ipsilateral noise conditions and demonstrated worse performances than the other two groups. In conclusion, cochlear impantees showed more difficulties in temporal performances than normal adults or elders did. Improvement in performances on temporal domain has been one of the critical issues for better speech perception in cochlear implantees. These data from gap detection performances under various noise conditions may be used as effective indications of assessing the rehabilitation in cochlear implantation.
