Changes in sound-source localization for children with bilateral severe to profound hearing loss following simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation (2018)
Journal Article
Killan, C. F., Harman, S., & Killan, E. C. (2018). Changes in sound-source localization for children with bilateral severe to profound hearing loss following simultaneous bilateral cochlear implantation. Cochlear Implants International, 19(5), 284-291. https://doi.org/10.1080/14670100.2018.1479147

Background: Sound localization is a valuable skill that children can develop to some extent via bilateral cochlear implants (biCIs). However, little is known regarding the change that can be expected in sound-source localization accuracy (SLA) pre- a...
