Bilateral cochlear implantation is becoming a standard of care in many clinics. While much
benefit has been shown through bilateral implantation, patients who have bilateral cochlear …

In recent years a substantial number of studies have reported results from cochlear implant
users who increasingly are being fitted with a contralateral hearing aid or second implant …

Objective: The abilities to localize sounds and segregate speech from interfering sounds in a
complex auditory environment were studied in a group of adults who use bilateral cochlear …

Are musicians better able to understand speech in noise than non-musicians? Recent
findings have produced contradictory results. Here we addressed this question by asking …

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 …

Fig. 1. In panel A, a schematic of a sound source presented at 45º to the left of the listener is
depicted. Panel B shows the time waveforms of impulse responses recorded in the left (thick …

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

Objectives: To compare speech perception outcomes between bilateral implantation
(cochlear implants [CIs]) and bimodal rehabilitation (one CI on one side plus one hearing …

Most normal-hearing listeners can understand a conversational partner in an everyday
