Journal ArticleDOI
The precedence effect.
TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to provide a framework within which to describe the effects of precedence and to help in the integration of data from both psychophysical and physiological experiments, and it is probably only through the combined efforts of these fields that a full theory of precedence will evolve and useful models will be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The benefit of binaural hearing in a cocktail party: Effect of location and type of interferer
TL;DR: Data suggest that the benefit of binaural hearing for speech intelligibility is especially pronounced when there are multiple voiced interferers at different locations from the target, regardless of spatial configuration; measurements with fewer or with other types of interferers can underestimate this benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cochlear implant speech recognition with speech maskers.
TL;DR: Evidence is interpreted for a significant role of informational masking and modulation interference in cochlear implant speech recognition with fluctuating maskers that may originate from increased target-masker similarity when spectral resolution is reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation in adults: a multicenter clinical study.
TL;DR: Findings with a large patient group are in agreement with previous reports on smaller groups, showing that, overall, bilateral implantation offers the majority of patients advantages when listening in simulated adverse conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefits of bilateral cochlear implants and/or hearing aids in children
TL;DR: Functional benefits from bilateral stimulation in 20 children ages 4–14 show that both groups perform similarly when speech reception thresholds are evaluated, but there appears to be benefit from wearing two devices compared with a single device that is significantly greater in the group with two CI than in the bimodal group.
