Implication

Multicenter clinical study demonstrates speech perception advantages of simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation in adults, indicating clear functional benefits in difficult auditory settings.

Key Points

Assess the auditory benefits of simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation in a large adult cohort under adverse listening conditions.
Multicenter clinical study evaluating a large cohort of adult recipients of simultaneous bilateral cochlear implants.
Evaluated auditory performance and speech perception under simulated adverse listening conditions.
Simultaneous bilateral implantation offered functional listening benefits in adverse conditions for the majority of adult patients.
Outcomes from the large multicenter cohort corroborated and validated listening advantages previously identified only in smaller study samples.
