What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

In recent decades, there was a great expansion for bilateral cochlear implantation (bCI) in children, leading to an improvement of their quality of life. However, spatial hearing skills of bCI children remain limited, even for children with the best speech understanding outcomes. Recent studies have brought new insights in spatial hearing by using virtual reality to record spatial hearing performance in 3D and the impact of active listening (i.e. free head exploration during sound emission): all bCI children showed spatial hearing difficulties related to front-back confusions and distance perception, which partly resulted from the reduction in auditory cues by the CI settings. However, bCI children notably improved under conditions of active listening, suggesting that interaction with environment could represent a rehabilitation entry strategy to help bCI users when faced with complex au
