Cochlear implant

[Grushkin, Donald A]

Do a Google search under "hearing simulations" (maybe add 'CI' or 'severe-profound deafness' as extra search strings).  I found one website that had a simulation of CIs with 2, 4, 8 and 16 channels that I use for one of my classes.  Not sure if this site will serve your purposes, but maybe you can find some others that will.

Subject: [SLLING-L] Cochlear implant

Hoi,
I have been in a number of discussions about deafness, signing and SignWriting. Quite often, the Cochlear implant is mentioned as this brilliant thing that makes deafness go away. My understanding is that while it provides an amazing difference, in essence it is still a crutch. Now my discussions are between hearing people. What I would love to have is a few sound files that give an approximation of what a Cochlear implant does for a deaf person.. I would like to have three sound files, one of a person speaking English in a quiet background, the other of a person speaking English in a noisy background (no music, just people talking) and the last a sound file with 30 seconds of music followed by 30 seconds of the same fragment as it was recorded.

I would be surprised if such sound files do not exist .. One extra requirement, these files need to be available under a free licene because I want to use them in the Wikipedia projects I am active in.
Thanks,
      Gerard
