Bimodal Stimulation Compared to Unilateral Cochlear Implant

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The majority of studies about bimodal hearing advantages have been conducted on adults but scant relevant studies into pediatric users, therefore more comparative studies are required to compare the effect of bimodal stimulation to unilateral cochlear implant use in children with severe to profound sensori-neural hearing loss .

Clinical Trial Description

There are now many recipients of unilateral cochlear implants who have usable residual hearing in the non-implanted ear. To avoid auditory deprivation and to provide binaural hearing, a hearing aid or a second cochlear implant can be fitted to that ear. When bilateral cochlear implant cannot be used for patients with bilateral hearing impairment, a hearing aid can be used in their non- implanted ear with residual hearing. This is because patients with bilateral hearing loss need bilateral stimulation to develop the neural pathway required for central processing of binaural hearing. ;
