Bilateral cochlear implant (BCI) users only have very limited spatial hearing abilities. Speech
coding strategies transmit interaural level differences (ILDs) but in a distorted manner …

The ability to detect a target signal masked by noise is improved in normal-hearing listeners
when interaural phase differences (IPDs) between the ear signals exist either in the masker …

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 …

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 …

Cochlear-implant (CI) users have difficulty understanding speech in the presence of
interfering sounds. This study was designed to determine if binaural unmasking of speech is …

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

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

Normal hearing listeners extract small interaural time differences (ITDs) and interaural level
differences (ILDs) to locate sounds and segregate targets from noise. Bilateral cochlear …

Currently there is a growing population of cochlear-implant (CI) users with (near) normal
hearing in the non-implanted ear. This configuration is often called SSD (single-sided …

Common envelope-based stimulation strategies for cochlear implants (CIs) use relatively
high carrier rates in order to properly encode the speech envelope. For such rates, CI …
