245			_aPre- and Postoperative Binaural Unmasking for Bimodal Cochlear Implant Listeners
520	3		_aCochlear implants (CIs) are increasingly recommended to individuals with residual bilateral acoustic hearing. Although new hearing- preserving electrode designs and surgical approaches show great promise, CI recipients are still at risk to lose acoustic hearing in the implanted ear, which could prevent the ability to take advantage of binaural unmasking to aid speech recognition in noise. This study examined the tradeoff between the benefits of a CI for speech understanding in noise and the potential loss of binaural unmasking for CI recipients with some bilateral preoperative acoustic hearing.
