Listening to 12 Fournier's lists of words

Patients will listen to words from Fournier's lists of words in presence of noise presented at different Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). 6 disyllable words Fournier's lists are presented to the implantees: SNRs ranged from 0 to 15 decibels (dBs) (0; 3; 6; 9; 12; 15) ; the subjects repeat orally the words. Then microphone is cleaned and, again, 6 Fournier's lists are presented.

OTHER

Listening to 48 Fournier's lists of words

48 disyllable Fournier's lists of words are presented to the subjects (6 SNR\*2 coding strategies\*4 dirtying levels) and the subjects repeat orally the words. Dirtying levels will be simulated by sounds effects.
