Fundamental frequency (F0) contour carries important information for understanding a tonal language. The present work assessed the effects of F0 contour on understanding Mandarin sentences in bimodal hearing simulations, including three conditions of acousticonly, electric-only, and combined stimulations. Test stimuli were synthesized Mandarin sentences, each word with a normal, flat, or randomly assigned lexical tone, and presented to normal-hearing Mandarin-speaking listeners to recognize. Experimental results showed that changing F0 contour significantly affected the perception of Mandarin sentences under all conditions of acoustic-only, electric-only, and combined stimulations. The combined-stimulation advantage was only observed for test stimuli with the normal F0 contour. (C) 2018 Acoustical Society of America
