“…Similar benefits are found with music perception (Duret et al 2021), including the components of pitch (Zhou, Gu, and Liu 2021), timbre (Kong, Mullangi, and Marozeau 2012), and melody (Zhou, Gu, and Liu 2021). Binaural use also shows improvement in daily life listening situations (Devocht et al 2020) and social activities (Farinetti et al 2015). Spatiality is the aspect of hearing most improved with bimodal stimulation (Warren and Dunbar 2018).…”

Objective: To investigate retrospectively the frequency of usage of bimodal stimulation among cochlear implant (CI) users, as well its clinical benefit relative to unilateral use. Design: All subjects had been monitored with the clinical Minimal Outcome Measurements test battery. Study samples: 103 adults with bilateral postlingual profound sensorineural hearing loss and unilateral CI use were extracted from the local database. These were divided into two groups: those who only used a CI and those who used bimodal stimulation. Results: The preoperative contralateral residual hearing in the bimodal group was significantly better than that of the CI-only group. In both groups, speech perception in quiet and in noise improved after CI, with no significant difference between postoperative unimodal conditions. For the bimodal group, an additional significant improvement was found for the bimodal condition compared to the unimodal. Conclusion: Given the observed auditory benefit of bimodal stimulation in comparison to unimodal stimulation and given the finding that degree of residual hearing is not correlated with bimodal benefits, it is recommended to encourage CI recipients to continue contralateral HA use after CI. As a result of expanding CI criteria worldwide, the population of bimodal users is expected to grow in the near future.

“…Establishing ways to decrease LE would be beneficial to all CI users, as perceived effort correlates with selfreported satisfaction with CI device. 16,70 Our results suggest that the modified SWIR is a useful test to reflect LE in CI users and could potentially be used to explain device outcomes and alter programming settings. The 3 experimental SWIR conditions are useful as they could be used to quantify LE in a given listening condition with which patients report struggling.…”

ObjectiveEvaluate listening effort (LE) in unilateral, bilateral, and bimodal cochlear implant (CI) users. Establish an easy‐to‐implement task of LE that could be useful for clinical decision making.Study DesignProspective cohort study.SettingTertiary neurotology center.MethodsThe Sentence Final Word Identification and Recall Task, an established measure of LE, was modified to include challenging listening conditions (multitalker babble, gender, and emotional variation; test), in addition to single‐talker sentences (control). Participants listened to lists of sentences in each condition and recalled the last word of each sentence. LE was quantified by percentage of words correctly recalled and was compared across conditions, across CI groups, and within subjects (best aided vs monaural).ResultsA total of 24 adults between the ages of 37 and 82 years enrolled, including 4 unilateral CI users (CI), 10 bilateral CI users (CICI), and 10 bimodal CI users (CIHA). Task condition impacted LE (P < .001), but hearing configuration and listener group did not (P = .90). Working memory capacity and contralateral hearing contributed to individual performance.ConclusionThis study adds to the growing body of literature on LE in challenging listening conditions for CI users and demonstrates feasibility of a simple behavioral task that could be implemented clinically to assess LE. This study also highlights the potential benefits of bimodal hearing and individual hearing and cognitive factors in understanding individual differences in performance, which will be evaluated through further research.
