Deafness affects∼ 2 in 1000 children and is one of the most common congenital
impairments. Permanent hearing loss can be treated by fitting hearing aids. More severe to …

Spatial hearing skills are essential for children as they grow, learn and play. These skills
provide critical cues for determining the locations of sources in the environment, and enable …

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 …

The indications for cochlear implantation have expanded to include individuals with
profound sensorineural hearing loss in the impaired ear and normal hearing (NH) in the …

Objectives: The present study evaluated early auditory localization abilities of cochlear
implant (CI) recipients with normal or near-normal hearing (NH) in the contralateral ear. The …

In patients with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs), pairing matched interaural electrodes and
stimulating them with the same frequency band is expected to facilitate binaural functions …

Poor binaural hearing in children was hypothesized to contribute to related cognitive and
academic deficits. Children with unilateral hearing have normal hearing in one ear but no …

In this study, spectral properties of speech sounds were used to test functional spectral
resolution in people who use cochlear implants (CIs). Specifically, perception of the/ba …

When listening with a cochlear implant through one ear and acoustically through the other,
binaural benefits and spatial hearing abilities are generally poorer than in other bilaterally …

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