Cochlear Dead Regions Constrain the Benefit of Combining Acoustic Stimulation With Electric Stimulation
Cochlear Dead Regions Constrain the Benefit of Combining Acoustic Stimulation With Electric Stimulation
The aims of this study were to (1) detect the presence and
edge frequency (fe) of a cochlear dead region in the ear with residual
acoustic hearing for bimodal cochlear implant users, and (2) determine
whether amplification based on the presence or absence of a dead region
would improve speech understanding and sound quality.
