Title Horizontal sound localization in cochlear implant users with a contralateral hearing aid
520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Interaural differences in sound arrival time (ITD) and in level (ILD) enable us to localize sounds in the<br/>horizontal plane, and can support source segregation and speech understanding in noisy environments.<br/>It is uncertain whether these cues are also available to hearing-impaired listeners who are bimodally<br/>fitted, i.e. with a cochlear implant (CI) and a contralateral hearing aid (HA).<br/>Here, we assessed sound localization behavior of fourteen bimodal listeners, all using the same Phonak<br/>HA and an Advanced Bionics CI processor, matched with respect to loudness growth. We aimed to<br/>determine the availability and contribution of binaural (ILDs, temporal fine structure and envelope ITDs)<br/>and monaural (loudness, spectral) cues to horizontal sound localization in bimodal listeners, by systematically<br/>varying the frequency band, level and envelope of the stimuli.<br/>The sound bandwidth had a strong effect on the localization bias of bimodal listeners, although<br/>localization performance was typically poor for all conditions. Responses could be systematically<br/>changed by adjusting the frequency range of the stimulus, or by simply switching the HA and CI on and<br/>off. Localization responses were largely biased to one side, typically the CI side for broadband and highpass<br/>filtered sounds, and occasionally to the HA side for low-pass filtered sounds. HA-aided thresholds<br/>better than 45 dB HL in the frequency range of the stimulus appeared to be a prerequisite, but not a<br/>guarantee, for the ability to indicate sound source direction.<br/>We argue that bimodal sound localization is likely based on ILD cues, even at frequencies below<br/>1500 Hz for which the natural ILDs are small. These cues are typically perturbed in bimodal listeners,<br/>leading to a biased localization percept of sounds. The high accuracy of some listeners could result from a<br/>combination of sufficient spectral overlap and loudness balance in bimodal hearing.<br/>© 2016 Elsevier B.V. All
