This choice of treatment is successful in restoring the patient's
binaural hearing [2-5].
These difficulties are related to the lack of
binaural hearing, which is the natural condition of the hearing (7).
Calculation of Monaural and
Binaural Hearing Impairment
Advantages of
binaural hearing provided through bimodal stimulation via a cochlear implant and a conventional hearing aid: a 6-month comparative study.
Individuals with normal hearing were defined as those with
binaural hearing threshold at all frequencies <26 dB.
The effect of multimicrophone noise reduction systems on sound source localization by users of
binaural hearing aids.
Binaural hearing after cochlear implantation in subjects with unilateral sensorineural deafness and tinnitus.
Crossover stimulation results in additional stimulation of the cochlea contralateral to the ear with the BC transducer, thereby reducing the efficacy of
binaural hearing [25].

binaural hearing," Acoustical Science and Technology, vol.
Herbert works as an entertainment reporter and disc jockey with profound
binaural hearing loss, which means his hearing is affected in both ears.
Nonetheless, if the tinnitus interferes with ADLs, including sleep, reading (and other tasks requiring concentration), enjoyment of quiet recreation, and emotional well-being, up to 5% may be added to a measurable
binaural hearing impairment.
