Bimodal benefit for cochlear implant listeners with different grades of hearing loss in the opposite ear
Reads0

TLDR
Bimodal benefit in quiet depends on hearing thresholds at higher frequencies as well as in the lower- and middle-frequency ranges and no correlation with hearing threshold in any frequency range was found.Abstract:
Objective: To determine speech perception in quiet and noise of adult cochlear implant listeners retaining a hearing aid contralaterally. Second, to investigate the influence of contralateral heari...read more

Maximum preimplantation monosyllabic score as predictor of cochlear implant outcome
TL;DR: The preoperatively measured PBmax may be used as a predictor for the minimum speech perception obtained with CI candidates with a PBmax above zero.

Cochlear Implantation in Candidates With Moderate‐to‐Severe Hearing Loss and Poor Speech Perception
TL;DR: To determine the improvement in word recognition score (WRS65) after cochlear implant (CI) surgery in hearing aid (HA) users with preoperative hearing threshold ≤80 dB HL and inadequate speech recognition scores with HA, and identify predictive factors for WRS65 with a CI 6 months after surgery.

Spatial Speech-in-Noise Performance in Bimodal and Single-Sided Deaf Cochlear Implant Users.
TL;DR: A “listening with the better ear” strategy in the two CI patient groups, where patients benefited from using two ears/ devices instead of one by selectively attending to the better one, depends on the spatial scenario and on the individual configuration of hearing loss.

Listening in Noise Remains a Significant Challenge for Cochlear Implant Users: Evidence from Early Deafened and Those with Progressive Hearing Loss Compared to Peers with Normal Hearing
TL;DR: Results show poorer performance in noise for CI users across populations and ages compared to NH peers, and age at implantation and word recognition in quiet were found to be contributing factors.

Bimodal Benefits for Lexical Tone Recognition: An Investigation on Mandarin-speaking Preschoolers with a Cochlear Implant and a Contralateral Hearing Aid
TL;DR: The findings support the clinical practice to fit a contralateral HA in the non-implanted ear for the potential benefit in Mandarin tone recognition in CI children and further studies on auditory plasticity on an individual basis are needed.

Binaural benefits for adults who use hearing aids and cochlear implants in opposite ears.
TL;DR: The results clearly indicate that binaural advantages can be obtained from using a hearing aid with a cochlear implant in opposite ears and it is recommended that bimodal stimulation be standard practice for rehabilitation of adults who wear unilateral co chlear implants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Should children who use cochlear implants wear hearing aids in the opposite ear
TL;DR: Clinicians should advise parents and other professionals about these potential advantages of binaural advantages from using cochlear implants with hearing aids in opposite ears, and facilitate bilateral amplification by adjusting hearing aids after stable coChlear implant MAPs are established.

Extended speech intelligibility index for the prediction of the speech reception threshold in fluctuating noise.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the extended SII model is able to predict the SRTs for the majority of conditions, but that predictions are better when the extendedSII model includes a function to account for forward masking.

Evidence for the expansion of adult cochlear implant candidacy.
TL;DR: A large-scale reassessment of manufacturer and Medicare preoperative audiologic candidacy criteria for adults is warranted to allow more hearing-impaired individuals to take advantage of the benefits offered by cochlear implantation.

Speech perception in noise with implant and hearing aid.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the perception of speech in quiet and in noise by adults using a cochlear implant on its own or a co-lear implant and hearing aid together.
