Cochlear implant re-mapping informed by measures of viability of the electrode-neural interface: a systematic review with meta-analysis Open
The electrode to auditory nerve interface (ENI) is often considered a bottleneck for information transmission for listeners using a cochlear implant (CI). Clinically, it could be beneficial to have a CI programming plan based on optimising…

Impact of Two Visualization Methods for Electrocochleographic Potentials on Hearing and Vestibular Function During Cochlear Implantation Open
Purpose This study investigates the impact of two distinct visualization methods for electrocochleographic potentials during cochlear implant electrode insertion on residual hearing preservation and vestibular function. Previous research h…

Exploring the Impact of Cochlear Implant Stimulation Artefacts in EEG Recordings: Unveiling Potential Benefits Open
Given rising numbers of bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users, predominantly children, there is a clinical need for efficient and reliable tests that can objectively evaluate binaural hearing. These tests are crucial for guiding the setup …

A model framework for simulating spatial hearing of bilateral cochlear implant users Open
Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) greatly improve spatial hearing acuity for CI users, but substantial gaps still exist compared to normal-hearing listeners. For example, CI users have poorer localization skills, little or no binaural unma…

Modelling speech reception thresholds and their improvements due to spatial noise reduction algorithms in bimodal cochlear implant users Open
Spatial noise reduction algorithms ("beamformers") can considerably improve speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for bimodal cochlear implant (CI) users. The goal of this study was to model SRTs and SRT-benefit due to beamformers for bimodal…

Evaluating Spatial Hearing Using a Dual-Task Approach in a Virtual-Acoustics Environment Open
Spatial hearing is critical for communication in everyday sound-rich environments. It is important to gain an understanding of how well users of bilateral hearing devices function in these conditions. The purpose of this work was to evalua…

Speech Intelligibility and Spatial Release From Masking Improvements Using Spatial Noise Reduction Algorithms in Bimodal Cochlear Implant Users Open
This study investigated the speech intelligibility benefit of using two different spatial noise reduction algorithms in cochlear implant (CI) users who use a hearing aid (HA) on the contralateral side (bimodal CI users). The study controll…

Pulsatile Cochlear Implant Vocoder v 1.0.1 Open
This is version 1.0.1 of the pulsatile Cochlear Implant Vocoder. The pulsatile Cochlear Implant vocoder can be used to simulate cochlear implant processing and allows normal hearing people to listen to the CI processed signal. The vocoder …

Spatial Speech-in-Noise Performance in Bimodal and Single-Sided Deaf Cochlear Implant Users Open
This study compared spatial speech-in-noise performance in two cochlear implant (CI) patient groups: bimodal listeners, who use a hearing aid contralaterally to support their impaired acoustic hearing, and listeners with contralateral norm…

Coherent Coding of Enhanced Interaural Cues Improves Sound Localization in Noise With Bilateral Cochlear Implants Open
Bilateral cochlear implant (BCI) users only have very limited spatial hearing abilities. Speech coding strategies transmit interaural level differences (ILDs) but in a distorted manner. Interaural time difference (ITD) information transmis…
