Bilateral cochlear implants: restoring binaural processing by experience and training with binaural cues

在两只耳朵里植入人工耳蜗越来越普遍，虽然有好处，但表现不如预期，这可能是因为长期失聪的大脑对两只耳朵听到的声音的微小时间差的敏感度下降。这项研究证实了这样一种假设，即体验高保真的定时信息将改善性能，从而推动所需的技术创新，以最大化双侧植入物的好处和投资。

Cochlear implantation in both ears is increasingly common and while there are benefits, performance falls short of expectations, likely due to the degradation of the long-term deaf brain’s sensitivity to small timing differences of sounds reaching each of the two ears. By confirming the hypothesis that experience with high-fidelity timing information will improve performance, this study will drive the technical innovations required to maximise the benefits and investment of bilateral implants.
