Cochlear implantation is a unique development in the field of prosthetics of human sensory systems. Due to the electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve, auditory sensations close to natural occur. Despite significant progress in the engineering design of cochlear implants (CI), the quality of auditory perception when used is significantly limited. CI users experience the greatest difficulties in communication tasks such as understanding speech in noise or in multi-talkers environment. There are many factors, both technical and physiological, to reduce speech intelligibility in CI users. Speech perception in CI users is limited due to low frequency resolution, perceptual distortion of pitch, and compression of dynamic range. Low frequency resolution is the reason a decrease in speech intelligibility and the ability to perceive music. To realize these ability the question about the state of central hearing mechanisms, especially for children with congenital deafness, is crucial Neuroplasticity with ages decreases and the central auditory processing deficiency develops, therefore, it is desirable to carry out cochlear implantation as early as possible after hearing loss identification. Analysis of the auditory perception features in case of the auditory nerve is electrically excited allows not only to propose innovative approaches to improve the auditory abilities of CI users, but also to study auditory processing disorders.

Key words: cochlear implantation, pitch, loudness, differential frequency threshold, speech intelligibility
