The research aims to identify the best cochlear locations for delivering interaural timing cues to improve electric hearing.
Analyzed the effectiveness of different cochlear locations for interaural timing cues.
Targeted locations to assess ITD sensitivity.
Evaluated complex sound processing capability, especially for speech.
Restoration of ITD sensitivity is enhanced by targeting multiple cochlear locations.
More effective sound perception, particularly in complex environments like speech, was observed.
Abstract
This suggests that restoration of ITD sensitivity requires targeting more than one good cochlear location for redundancy when it comes to more complex sounds such as speech.
