There are now many recipients of unilateral cochlear implants who have usable residual
hearing in the non-implanted ear. To avoid auditory deprivation and to provide binaural …

Electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS) was developed for individuals with a profound hearing
loss in the high frequencies and a substantial residual low-frequency hearing (LFH). For this …

Objective This study aimed to investigate 1) how a hearing aid needs to be adjusted for an
adult who uses a cochlear implant in the contralateral ear; 2) whether the use of a hearing …

Speech recognition in noise and music perception is especially challenging for current
cochlear implant users. The present study utilizes the residual acoustic hearing in the …

Objective: To determine the efficacy of “simultaneous” bilateral cochlear implantation (both
implants placed during a single surgical procedure) by comparing bilateral and unilateral …

OBJECTIVES: Age-appropriate speech/language outcomes for children with early identified
hearing loss are a possibility but not a certainty. Identification of children most likely to …

This study evaluated functional benefits from bilateral stimulation in 20 children ages 4–14,
10 use two CIs and 10 use one CI and one HA. Localization acuity was measured with the …

Conclusions Hearing may be conserved in adults after implantation with the Nucleus
Contour Advance perimodiolar electrode array. The degree of hearing preservation and the …

Objective To measure the benefit (ie, sound localization and speech intelligibility in noise) of
bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) in adults and in children. Design, Setting, and Patients …

Objective: To evaluate sound localization acuity in a group of children who received bilateral
(BI) cochlear implants in sequential procedures and to determine the extent to which BI …
