The present study investigated the effects of binaural spectral mismatch on binaural benefits in the context of bilateral cochlear implants using acoustic simulations. Binaural spectral mismatch was systematically manipulated by simulating changes in the relative insertion depths across ears. Sentence recognition, presented unilaterally and bilaterally, were measured in normal-hearing listeners in quiet and noise at +5 dB signal-to-noise ratio. Significant binaural benefits were observed when the interaural difference in insertion depth was 1 mm or less. This result suggests a dependence of the binaural benefit on redundant speech information, rather than on similarity in performance across ears. (C) 2011 Acoustical Society of America
