This study found that a target/masker sex mismatch may benefit cochlear implant users in speech-in-speech recognition, particularly in the case of a two-male-talker masker.
This project investigated whether pediatric (5-14 years) and adult (30-60 years) cochlear implant (CI) users benefit from a target/masker sex-mismatch for speech-in-speech recognition. Speech recognition thresholds were estimated in a two-male-talker or a two-female-talker masker. Target and masker speech were either sex-matched or sex-mismatched. For both age groups, performance for sex-matched talkers was worse for male than female speech. Sex-mismatch benefit was observed for the two-male-talker masker, indicating CI users can benefit from a target/masker sex mismatch. No benefit was observed for the two-female-talker masker, suggesting this effect may depend on the relative contributions of energetic and informational masking.
