Richard S. Tyler,Aaron J. Parkinson,Blake S. Wilson,Shelley Witt,John P. Preece,William Noble +5 more
TL;DR: A cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other ear can provide binaural advantages and the absolute and relative levels of performance at each ear are likely to influence the potential for bINAural integration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benefit of wearing a hearing aid on the unimplanted ear in adult users of a cochlear implant.
TL;DR: Group results yielded a statistically significant combined benefit of wearing a hearing aid in conjunction with a cochlear implant on opposite ears in noise conditions, and only 2 participants out of 12 were able to localize when wearing 2 devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Frequency, Instrumental Family, and Cochlear Implant Type on Timbre Recognition and Appraisal:
