In the past, only people who were profoundly deaf in both ears were considered for cochlear
implantation. Nowadays, it is clear that many implant users perform better in perceptual tests …

Users of a cochlear implant (CI) in one ear, who are provided with a hearing aid (HA) in the
contralateral ear, so-called bimodal listeners, are typically affected by a constant and …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) have provided some success in improving spatial hearing
abilities to patients, but with large variability in performance. One reason for the variability is …

Although bilateral cochlear implantation has the potential to improve sound localization and
speech understanding in noise, obstacles exist in presenting maximally useful binaural …

Objectives: In bilateral cochlear implant users, electrodes mapped to the same frequency
range in each ear may stimulate different places in each cochlea due to an insertion depth …

Bilateral cochlear implantation has provided access to some of the benefits of binaural
hearing enjoyed by normal-hearing (NH) listeners. However, a gap in performance still …

The binaural interaction component (BIC) of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) is the
difference obtained after subtracting the sum of right and left ear ABRs from binaurally …

Current clinical practice in programming a cochlear implant (CI) for individuals with single-
sided deafness (SSD) is to maximize the transmission of speech information via the implant …

Objective: The binaural-hearing system interaurally compares inputs, which underlies the
ability to localize sound sources and to better understand speech in complex acoustic …

Users of a cochlear implant together with a contralateral hearing aid—so-called bimodal
listeners—have difficulties with localizing sound sources. This is mainly due to the distortion …
