Electric and acoustic harmonic integration predicts speech-in-noise performance in hybrid cochlear implant users.

CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate integration of acoustic and electric information in H-CI users for complex pitch sensation. The correlation with speech scores in H-CI users might be associated with the ability to segregate a target speaker from background noise using the speaker's fundamental frequency.
