Bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs) result in several benefits, including improvements in
speech understanding in noise and sound source localization. However, the benefit bilateral …

Spatial hearing is crucial in real life but deteriorates in participants with severe sensorineural
hearing loss or single-sided deafness. This ability can potentially be improved with a …

In an increasing number of countries, the standard treatment for deaf individuals is moving
toward the implantation of two cochlear implants. Today's device technology and fitting …

Lateralization of complex high-frequency sounds is conveyed by interaural level differences
(ILDs) and interaural time differences (ITDs) in the envelope. In this work, the authors …

Interaural time difference (ITD) sensitivity with cochlear implant stimulation is remarkably
similar to envelope ITD sensitivity using conventional acoustic stimulation. This holds true for …

The ability of normal-hearing (NH) listeners to exploit interaural time difference (ITD) cues
conveyed in the modulated envelopes of high-frequency sounds is poor compared to ITD …

Bilateral cochlear implants (BICIs) provide improved sound localization and speech
understanding in noise compared to unilateral CIs. However, normal-hearing (NH) listeners …

Sound source localization accuracy as measured in an identification procedure in a front
azimuth sound field was studied for click trains, modulated noises, and a modulated tonal …

For listeners with bilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs), patient-specific differences in the
interface between cochlear implant (CI) electrodes and the auditory nerve can lead to …

Advancements in cochlear implants (CIs) have led to a significant increase in bilateral CI
users, especially among children. Yet, most bilateral CI users do not fully achieve the …
