Psychophysics, fitting, and signal processing for combined hearing aid and cochlear implant stimulation

T Francart, HJ McDermott - Ear and hearing, 2013 - journals.lww.com

Speech perception with combined electric-acoustic stimulation and bilateral cochlear implants in a multisource noise field

T Rader, H Fastl, U Baumann - Ear and Hearing, 2013 - journals.lww.com

Interaural stimulation timing in single sided deaf cochlear implant users

S Zirn, S Arndt, A Aschendorff, T Wesarg - Hearing Research, 2015 - Elsevier
The interaural time difference (ITD) is an important cue for the localization of sounds. ITD
changes as little as 10 μs can be detected by the human auditory system. By provision of …

Electrically evoked auditory steady state responses in cochlear implant users

M Hofmann, J Wouters - Journal of the Association for Research in …, 2010 - Springer
Auditory steady state responses are neural potentials in response to repeated auditory
stimuli. This study shows that electrically evoked auditory steady state responses (EASSRs) …

Contrasting benefits from contralateral implants and hearing aids in cochlear implant users

RJM Van Hoesel - Hearing research, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …

The effect of interaural mismatches on contralateral unmasking with single-sided vocoders

JM Wess, DS Brungart, JGW Bernstein - Ear and Hearing, 2017 - journals.lww.com

Considerations for fitting cochlear implants bimodally and to the single-sided deaf

SH Pieper, N Hamze, S Brill, S Hochmuth… - Trends in …, 2022 - journals.sagepub.com
When listening with a cochlear implant through one ear and acoustically through the other,
