Conclusions: Bilateral CI users overcame ear and source location effects observed for the bimodal listeners.
2
The results confirmed our hypothesis that bilateral CI users exhibited less effect of source azimuth than bimodal listeners.
3
In deaf animals with bilateral CI, the proportion of ITD-sensitive cortical neurons was approximately a fifth in response to SAM pulse trains.
4
In summary, we found that, in conditions with source location uncertainty and increased ecological validity, bilateral CI performance was superior to bimodal listening.
