Auditory rehabilitation by cochlear implants or hearing aids is effective also among older adults (median age of 74 years) with different degrees of hearing loss, and enables positive improvements in terms of social isolation, depression and cognitive performance...

... there is a hearing loss, but this appears to be overcome by the use of a hearing aid. Patients with additional vestibular deficits exploit auditory cues to a greater degree, suggesting that sensory weighting to enhance the use of auditory cues may be applied when there is diminished sensory redundancy. jessicav...

...Tom Francart; Anneke Lenssen; Jan Wouters In a previous study, it was shown that users of a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid are sensitive to interaural time differences (ITDs). In the current study, we investigated (1) the influence on ITD sensitivity of bilaterally varying...

...Tom Francart; Jan Brokx; Jan Wouters The interaural level difference (ILD) is an important cue for the localization of sound sources. The sensitivity to ILD was measured in 10 users of a cochlear implant (CI) in one ear and a hearing aid (HA) in the other severely impaired ear. For simultaneous...

Several studies have also shown changes in cortical auditory evoked potentials after cochlear implantation and after auditory training. These studies indicate that improvements in speech perception ability...
