Linguistic assessment tools for the Digisonic® Dual electric-acoustic speech processor

In this paper, we describe the development and use of a new module of the Auditory Speech Sound Evaluation test (A§E ®, Govaerts e.a. 2009), as part of the FP7 European research project “DUAL PRO”, which aims at assessing the perception of speech prosody across languages by means of discrimination and identification tasks. By means of this prosody test battery the use of current generation of cochlear implants and classical hearing aids can be assessed, as well as that of new, hybrid EAS strategies.
