Abstract

The article focuses on the benefits of the bilateral cochlear implantation (CI) to be able to improve the functioning of the auditory of the hearing impaired person in the U.S. Performing the bilateral hearing allows the person to segregate sounds that come from different locations. Moreover, bilateral hearing allows listeners to identify sound source location with the use of neural circuits.
