Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid: Objective Measures of Binaural Benefit

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Cochlear implants (CI) improve hearing for the severely hearing impaired. With an extension of implantation candidacy, today many CI listeners use a hearing aid on their contralateral ear, referred to as bimodal listening.

Spatially selective binaural hearing aids [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Proceedings of the 2015 ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers - UbiComp '15, 2015
Traditional hearing aids are limited by the absence of spatial selectivity. Superdirective microphone array can recover such limit, performing a spatial filtering to achieve an augmented SNR. We present Glassense, a platform hosting a double microphone array connected to a processing unit and mounted on the frame of common glasses. The platform has the

Interactions of Interaural Time and Level Differences in Spatial Hearing with Cochlear Implants. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
Differences in timing (ΔT) are weighted heavily compared to differences in loudness (ΔL) in binaural hearing with cochlear implants. Abstract Normally hearing humans can localize sound sources quite accurately, with minimum audible angles as small as 1°. To achieve this, these auditory pathways combine information from multiple acoustic cues, including

Localization performance of cochlear implant users with a real-time bilaterally-synchronized sound coding strategy that provides explicit interaural timing cues with mixed rates of stimulation

Frontiers in Neuroscience
IntroductionBilateral cochlear implants (BiCIs) do not restore sound localization abilities to the full extent exhibited by typical hearing (TH) listeners, partly due to poor encoding of interaural time differences (ITDs). ITD cues have been provided and

Binaural masking level difference for pure tone signals

Journal of Otology, 2023
The binaural masking level difference (BMLD) is a psychoacoustic method to determine binaural interaction and central auditory processes. The BMLD is the difference in hearing thresholds in homophasic and antiphasic conditions.

The Effects of a Home Personal Computer-based Auditory Training Program on the Binaural Listening Skills of Children With Specific Learning Disability: A Protocol for a Randomized Clinical Trial [PDF]

Function and Disability Journal, 2023
Background and Objectives: A high prevalence of central auditory processing disorders has been reported in children with learning disabilities. One of the crucial auditory processing disorders in these children is a binaural processing problem.

The effectiveness of traditional methods and altered auditory feedback in improving speech rate and intelligibility in speakers with Parkinson's disease [PDF]

, 2010
Communication problems are a frequent symptom for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) which can have a significant impact on their quality-of-life. Deciding on the right management approach can be problematic though, as, with the exception of LSVT (R ...

Sound Localization Under Perturbed Binaural Hearing [PDF]

Journal of Neurophysiology, 2007
This paper reports on the acute effects of a monaural plug on directional hearing in the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (elevation) planes of human listeners. Sound localization behavior was tested with rapid head-orienting responses toward brief high-pass filtered (>3 kHz; HP) and broadband (0.5–20 kHz; BB) noises, with sound levels between 30 ...

A binaural implementation of the Hearing Aid Speech Perception Index (HASPI)

Acta Acustica
Introduction: The Hearing Aid Speech Perception Index version 2 (HASPI v2) is an intrusive speech intelligibility metric fitted to the intelligibility of sentence stimuli presented monaurally over headphones.

A Link Loss Model for the On-body Propagation Channel for Binaural Hearing Aids

, 2013
Binaural hearing aids communicate with each other through a wireless link for synchronization. A propagation model is needed to estimate the ear-to-ear link loss for such binaural hearing aids.
