Head shadow enhancement with low-frequency beamforming improves sound localization and speech perception for simulated bimodal listeners [PDF]
, 2017 Many hearing-impaired listeners struggle to localize sounds due to poor availability of binaural cues. Listeners with a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid -- so-called bimodal listeners -- are amongst the worst performers, as both interaural time and level differences are poorly transmitted.

Phoneme-Based Ratio Mask Estimation for Reverberant Speech Enhancement in Cochlear Implant Processors [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Cochlear implant (CI) users have considerable difficulty in understanding speech in reverberant listening environments. Time-frequency (T-F) masking is a common technique that aims to improve speech intelligibility by multiplying reverberant speech by a matrix of gain values to suppress T-F bins dominated by reverberation.
