  • Abstract
    A peak-picking method for measuring the instantaneous period of voiced speech is described and compared with three other well documented techniques. It has been developed for use with a cochlear prosthesis to provide electrically stimulated hearing in a number of totally deaf adults. In this way both receptive and productive abilities can be substantially improved.
