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.

Functional Consequences of Poor Binaural Hearing in Development: Evidence From Children With Unilateral Hearing Loss and Children Receiving Bilateral Cochlear Implants [PDF]
Trends in Hearing, 2021 Poor binaural hearing in children was hypothesized to contribute to related cognitive and academic deficits. Children with unilateral hearing have normal hearing in one ear but no access to binaural cues.

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 fusion and mis-identification of spatially separated concurrent vowels by cochlear implant users [PDF]
JASA Express LettersExcess binaural fusion can be problematic for listeners in noisy environments, leading to fusion of speech from multiple talkers. Previous research found that hearing aid users experience broad binaural fusion, fusing concurrent dichotic vowels with ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Binaural hearing is critically important for the perception of sound spatial locations. The primary auditory cortex (AI) has been demonstrated to be necessary for sound localization. However, after hearing onset, how the processing of binaural cues by AI

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 ...

Importance of Binaural Hearing [PDF]
Audiology and Neurotology, 2015 An essential task for the central auditory pathways is to parse the auditory messages sent by the two cochleae into auditory objects, the segregation and localisation of which constitute an important means of separating target signals from noise and competing sources.

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 ...
