Bilateral and Unilateral Cochlear Implants and Speech Perception in Noise

A recent study found that bilateral cochlear implant users showed significantly better ability to understand speech in noisy environments when compared with unilateral cochlear implant users.

A similar recent study compared bimodal and bilateral cochlear implant users. The conclusion: "This research adds to the existing studies that show no significant difference between bimodal and bilateral cochlear implant users".
