DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA

The data was collected from 18 subjects recruited from the Auditory Implant Service at St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust between 13/08/2018 and 31/01/2019. 

Data was collected at one visit and included the following:

1. eCAP recovery function at electrode location 19,16,10 & 6. This was collected using Custom Sound Software 5.1, this software is not needed to view the numerical values included in this data set.

2. Random Gap Detection Test for the following frequencies: 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz. This was obtained using the Auditec Random Gap Detection Test CD, using circumaural headphones over the research speech processor at 60dBA. Subject's gap detection responses were scored to obtain the shortest gap that could be detected between two stimuli for each frequency.

3. Arthur Boothroyd Word Lists at presentation levels 70dBA, 60dBA, 50dBA and 40dBA. This was obtained using otosuite software on an Aurical system, using circumaural headphones over the research speech processor, in quiet. Subject's were scored for phonemes identified correctly at all levels.


This dataset contains:

eCAP recovery function measurements
Random Gap Detection Thresholds
Arthur Boothroyd Phoneme scores in quiet
