Table 9.
Sequential information analysis (SINFA) results. Percent of information transmitted for the consonant acoustic-phonetic features of manner of articulation, place of articulation, and voicing as a function of filter slope are displayed. Data from the normal-hearing participants and the adults with cochlear implants are presented.
