配戴聽覺腦幹植入兒童的獨特語音特徵：語音起始時間的新穎研究

// The Unique Voice Profile of Children With Auditory Brainstem Implants: A Novel Study on Voice Onset Time

本研究比較土耳其兒童使用單側人工耳蝸（CI）、雙側CI、聽神經植入（ABI）與正常聽力（NH）同儕的語音起始時間（VOT）｜結果顯示所有植入者對無聲爆破音之VOT較NH兒童短，且ABI使用者最短，但ABI使用者的有聲爆破音前震動（prevoicing）正常，CI使用者則不然｜此結果揭示不同植入裝置對語音時序有差異，強調需針對裝置特性加強喉部協調語言治療，以提升語言表現。

// This study compared voice onset time (VOT) in Turkish children using unilateral CIs, bilateral CIs, ABIs, and normal hearing (NH) peers. VOT measures showed that all implant groups had shorter VOTs for voiceless plosives than NH children, with ABI users having the shortest; however, ABI users produced voiced plosives with normal prevoicing unlike CI users. Findings indicate that auditory devices differently affect speech timing, with ABIs preserving voiced sound timing but impairing voiceless sounds. The results highlight the need for tailored, device-specific speech therapy focusing on laryngeal coordination to improve speech outcomes.
