This study compares post-training performance gains in speech recognition and melodic contour identification for cochlear implant users after visual digit span training versus previous auditory training. Results show minimal effects of visual memory training on auditory performance. Published in JRRD in 2013.

Figure 5. Mean post training performance gains for cochlear implant (CI) users after present visual digit span (VDS) training (black bars) or after auditory training in previous studies (white bars). Post training gains are shown for speech recognition (a) in noise and (b) for speech and melodic contour identification (MCI) in quiet. HINT = Hearing in Noise Test, SRT = speech recognition threshold. Oba SI, Galvin JJ 3rd, Fu QJ. Minimal effects of visual memory training on auditory performance of adult cochlear implant users.
