Bilateral cochlear implants in children
This study investigated the extent to which 9 months of listening with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) improves the ability of children to hear speech in noise and to localize sounds. Three children ages 8–12 who received sequential bilateral CIs, 3–8 years apart, participated in a series of binaural tasks at 3 and 9 months after activation of the second CI. Each child participated in a batte...
متن کاملReflections on Bilateral Cochlear Implants
The bilateral cochlear implant has increased in recent years in due to the search for auditory enhancements. There are many advantages to the users of the bilateral cochlear implant, which may include the location of the auditory sign, decreasing the head shadow effect for the contralateral ear and binaural summation of the hearing. In children it is also discussed the issue of auditory depriva...
متن کاملBilateral cochlear implants in adults and children.
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 Seventeen adults and 3 children underwent testing 3 months after activation of bilateral hearing. Adults received their devices in a simultaneous procedure and children in sequential procedures (3-8 years ap...
متن کاملLocalization cues with bilateral cochlear implants.
Selected subjects with bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) showed excellent horizontal localization of wide-band sounds in previous studies. The current study investigated localization cues used by two bilateral CI subjects with outstanding localization ability. The first experiment studied localization for sounds of different spectral and temporal composition in the free field. Localization of w...
متن کاملCentral masking with bilateral cochlear implants.
Across bilateral cochlear implants, contralateral threshold shift has been investigated as a function of electrode difference between the masking and probe electrodes. For contralateral electric masking, maximum threshold elevations occurred when the position of the masker and probe electrode was approximately place-matched across ears. The amount of masking diminished with increasing masker-pr...
