Impaired Binaural Hearing in Adults: A Selected Review of the Literature [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Despite over 100 years of study, there are still many fundamental questions about binaural hearing that remain unanswered, including how impairments of binaural function are related to the mechanisms of binaural hearing.

Bilateral Interactions in the Mouse Dorsal Inferior Colliculus Enhance the Ipsilateral Neuronal Responses and Binaural Hearing [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 The inferior colliculus (IC) is a critical centre for the binaural processing of auditory information. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the central nucleus of the inferior colliculus (ICC), and less is known about the dorsal nucleus of ...

Binaural Localization Development and the Effect of SmartSound iQ with SCAN in Children with Cochlear Implants [PDF]
Audiology ResearchBackground: Binaural hearing is crucial for spatial auditory perception, including sound localization. Cochlear implants (CIs) are commonly used in children with congenital deafness to support binaural auditory development, but the extent to which they ...

Binaural hearing with electrical stimulation. [PDF]
Hear Res, 2015 Bilateral cochlear implantation is becoming a standard of care in many clinics. While much benefit has been shown through bilateral implantation, patients who have bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) still do not perform as well as normal hearing listeners in sound localization and understanding speech in noisy environments.

Developmental auditory deprivation in one ear impairs brainstem binaural processing and reduces spatial hearing acuity. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyEarly sensory experience can exert lasting perceptual consequences. For example, a brief period of auditory deprivation early in life can lead to persistent spatial hearing deficits.

Toward an Individual Binaural Loudness Model for Hearing Aid Fitting and Development
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 The individual loudness perception of a patient plays an important role in hearing aid satisfaction and use in daily life. Hearing aid fitting and development might benefit from individualized loudness models (ILMs), enabling better adaptation of the ...

Binaural fusion and listening effort in children who use bilateral cochlear implants: a psychoacoustic and pupillometric study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Bilateral cochlear implants aim to provide hearing to both ears for children who are deaf and promote binaural/spatial hearing. Benefits are limited by mismatched devices and unilaterally-driven development which could compromise the normal integration ...
