Effect of electrode impedance on spread of excitation and pitch perception using electrically coupled "dual-electrode" stimulation.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:The aim of this study was to compare binaural performance of auditory localization task and speech perception in babble measure between children who use a cochlear implant (CI) in one ear and a hearing aid (HA) in the other (bimodal fitting) and those who use bilateral CIs. DESIGN:Thirteen children (mean ag...
