Bilateral cochlear implantation is increasingly becoming the standard in the clinical
treatment of bilateral deafness. The main motivation is to provide users of bilateral cochlear …

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 …

Cortical development extensively depends on sensory experience. Effects of congenital
monaural and binaural deafness on cortical aural dominance and representation of binaural …

Human bilateral cochlear implant users do poorly on tasks involving interaural time
differences (ITD), a cue that provides important benefits to the normal hearing, especially in …

Congenital single-sided deafness (SSD) leads to an aural preference syndrome that is
characterized by overrepresentation of the hearing ear in the auditory system. Cochlear …

Spatial hearing in cochlear implant (CI) patients remains a major challenge, with many early
deaf users reported to have no measurable sensitivity to interaural time differences (ITDs) …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) might promote development of binaural hearing required to
localize sound sources and hear speech in noise for children who are deaf. These hearing …

Binaural cues are required for localization of sound sources. In the present paper,
representation of binaural cues has been investigated in the adult auditory cortex. Hearing …

Poor sensitivity to the interaural time difference (ITD) constrains the ability of human bilateral
cochlear implant users to listen in everyday noisy acoustic environments. ITD sensitivity to …

Objectives: Interaural level differences (ILD) and interaural timing differences (ITD) are
important cues for locating sounds in space. Adult bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users use …
