Bilateral cochlear implants in children: localization acuity measured with minimum audible angle.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate sound localization acuity in a group of children who received bilateral (BI) cochlear implants in sequential procedures and to determine the extent to which BI auditory experience affects sound localization acuity. In addition, to investigate the extent to which a hearing aid in the nonimplanted ear can also provide benefits on this task. DESIGN Two groups of children pa...
متن کاملExperience with bilateral cochlear implants improves sound localization acuity in children.
HYPOTHESIS Because of auditory plasticity, there can be experience-dependent acquisition and refinement of spatial hearing skills. BACKGROUND A growing number of children who are deaf are receiving bilateral cochlear implants (CIs), in an attempt to provide them with acoustic cues known to be important for spatial hearing. A feasible and reliable task for children is the right-left discrimina...
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 کاملSpeech Perception in Children with Cochlear Implants
Cochlear implants provide access to the speech signal in children with hearing loss that often cannot benefit from acoustic hearing aids. However, despite the numerous positive results in pediatric cochlear implantation, published data still indicated a wide range of performance among implant recipients. Hence, a need to study the possible variables that can affect performance, could account fo...
متن کاملBilateral 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...
