    Abstract:
    Eight experienced 3M/House cochlear implant users' consonant recognition was evaluated with videotaped vowel-consonant vowel lists presented in auditory implant only (A), visual (V), and auditory-visual (AV) conditions. All subjects' scores were better than chance. Results revealed that the AV scores were significantly better than the V scores, which were better than the A scores. Sequential Information Analysis of the consonant errors revealed that different features were transmitted better in each condition. Sonorant and voicing features were transmitted well for the A condition, but features related to high-frequency and place cues were not. Place features were transmitted best in the V condition, but acoustic features were not. Both place and acoustic features were transmitted in the AV condition, but they were influenced most by visual cues.
