Individuals with bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs) rely mostly on interaural level difference
(ILD) cues to localize stationary sounds in the horizontal plane. Independent automatic gain …

This study looked at different methods to preserve interaural level difference (ILD) cues for
bilateral cochlear implant (BiCI) recipients. One possible distortion to ILD is from automatic …

Objectives: The independence of left and right automatic gain controls (AGCs) used in
cochlear implants can distort interaural level differences and thereby compromise dynamic …

Objectives This study investigated the effect of synchronized activation of automatic gain
control (AGC) on sound-localization and speech-recognition performance in cochlear …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) greatly improve spatial hearing acuity for CI users, but
substantial gaps still exist compared to normal-hearing listeners. For example, CI users have …

Bilateral cochlear implant (BiCI) users do not localize sounds as well as normal hearing
(NH) listeners do. NH listeners rely on two binaural cues to localize sounds in the horizontal …

Although bilateral cochlear implant users receive input to both ears, they nonetheless have
relatively poor localization abilities in the horizontal plane. This is likely because of the two …

While considerable evidence suggests that bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users' sound
localization abilities rely primarily on interaural level difference (ILD) cues, and only …

Normal-hearing (NH) listeners are able to localize sound sources with extraordinary
accuracy through interaural cues, most importantly interaural time differences (ITDs) in the …

Bilateral cochlear implantation is increasingly becoming the standard in the clinical
treatment of bilateral deafness. The main motivation is to provide users of bilateral cochlear …
