During the Musi-CI training methods are developed for CI users primarily to enhance music enjoyment and secondary to improve perception of daily sounds and speech.
Preliminary evaluation of the Speech Reception Threshold measured using a new language-independent screening test as a predictor of hearing loss
We developed a new, automated, language-independent speech in noise screening test, we evaluated its performance in 150 subjects against the WHO criteria for slight/mild and moderate hearing loss, and we observed an accuracy >80%, with an area under the ROC curves equal to 0.83 and 0.89, respectively.

Transcranial alternating current stimulation with the theta- but not delta band modulates speech-in-noise comprehension
When listening to speech, oscillatory activity in the auditory cortex entrains to the amplitude fluctuations. The entrainment can be influenced by non-invasive neurostimulation, which can thereby modulate the comprehension of a speech signal in background noise.
