This study compared spatial speech-in-noise performance in two cochlear implant (CI)
patient groups: bimodal listeners, who use a hearing aid contralaterally to support their …

Improvements in device technology, surgical technique, and patient outcomes have resulted
in a broadening of cochlear implantation criteria to consider those with increasing levels of …

Clinics are treating a growing number of patients with greater amounts of residual hearing.
These patients often benefit from a bimodal hearing configuration in which acoustic input …

Objective To investigate retrospectively the frequency of usage of bimodal stimulation
among cochlear implant (CI) users, as well its clinical benefit relative to unilateral use …

Background/Objectives: Bimodal stimulation (BS), which combines the use of a cochlear
implant (CI) in one ear and a hearing aid (HA) in the opposite ear, is an established strategy …

Automatic gain control (AGC) compresses the wide dynamic range of sounds to the narrow
dynamic range of hearing-impaired listeners. Setting AGC parameters (time constants and …

Frequency importance functions (FIFs) for simulated bimodal hearing were derived using
sentence perception scores measured in quiet and noise. Acoustic hearing was simulated …

Introduction Clinically, recording hearing detection thresholds and representing them in an
audiogram is the most common way of evaluating hearing loss and starting the fitting of …

Introduction Clinically, the audiogram is the most commonly used measure when evaluating
hearing loss and fitting hearing aids. As an extension, we present the loudness audiogram …

Purpose: Speech understanding in noise and horizontal sound localization is poor in most
cochlear implant (CI) users with a hearing aid (bimodal stimulation). This study investigated …
