A model of speech apprehensibility of postlingual patients after cochlear implantation has been developed. The study of filtrated speech comprehension by persons with normal hearing has used speech material in three 50 Hz spectral bands. The central frequencies were selected by tonotopics of the basilar cochlear membrane. Characteristics of speech comprehension and apprehensibility by recipients of cochlear implants are demonstrated. The model reveals problems of acoustic comprehension facing the implanted patients and shows importance of learning and personality features of the implanted patients for early rehabilitation.
