Psychoacoustics in EAS users
- Investigation of psychoacoustic electric-acoustic masking for combined EAS
- The effect of ES on acoustic hearing if electric and acoustic stimuli are presented simultaneously.
- The effect of AS on electric hearing if electric and acoustic stimuli are presented simultaneously.
Electrophysiological measurements in EAS users
- Electrophysiological measurements are used to examine electric-acoustic interaction in EAS users.
- Telemetry capabilities of the CI systems are used to derive intracochlear electrocochleography in EAS users.
- Cochlear microphonic (CM) and auditory nerve neurophonic (ANN) potentials, recorded in response to AS, ES, and in response to combined EAS are used to determine peripheral electric-acoustic interaction electrophysiologically.
Sound coding for EAS
- Development and evaluation of sound coding for EAS users conveying low-frequency information of speech electrically to improve the speech perception for ES alone.
- Investigation of EAS fittings to optimize speech perception for EAS users.
Computational modelling for EAS
- Development of 3D models of the cochlea for ES and EAS
- Models of neural coding in auditory nerve fibers in response to ES, AS, and EAS
- Models of electrophysiological responses such as the electrically or acoustically evoked compound action potential to investigate the effect of electric-acoustic interaction on these measures
- Neural networks to emulate psychoacoustic experiments or speech perception of EAS users in different neural health conditions

Electric Acoustic Integration
- Investigation of central electric acoustic interaction through speech understanding performance and cortical EEG measurements;
- Investigation of peripheral electric acoustic interaction through electric-acoustic pitch matching and measurement of auditory brainstem responses;
- Optimization of the CI fitting using the measurements of central and peripheral electric acoustic interaction.
