Frequency Following Response and Speech Recognition Benefit for Combining a Cochlear Implant and Contralateral Hearing Aid.
TL;DR: There was a significant correlation between FFR F0 amplitude in the nonimplanted ear and bimodal benefit and it is possible that this information may eventually be used for clinical decision-making, particularly in difficult-to-test populations such as young children, regarding effectiveness of bIModal hearing versus bilateral CI candidacy.

Musical Emotion Perception in Bimodal Patients: Relative Weighting of Musical Mode and Tempo Cues

TL;DR: Results indicate that CI-alone performance was driven almost exclusively by tempo cues, whereas bimodal listening demonstrated use of both tempo and mode, which indicates that contralateral acoustic hearing can offer significant benefit for musical emotion perception, and the degree of benefit may be dependent upon spectral resolution of the non-implanted ear.
Contralateral Routing of Signal Yields Significant Speech in Noise Benefit for Unilateral Cochlear Implant Recipients
TL;DR: Use of CROS provided both subjective and objective speech recognition benefit for unilateral CI recipients who do not have access to bilateral cochlear implantation.

Time-Gated Word Recognition in Children: Effects of Auditory Access, Age, and Semantic Context
Elizabeth A. Walker,David M. Kessler,Kelsey E. Klein,Meredith Spratford,Jacob Oleson,Anne Welhaven,Ryan W. McCreery +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of how children who are hard of hearing and children with normal hearing combine cognitive-linguistic abilities and acoustic-phonetic cues to recognize words in sentence-final position found both CHH and CNH benefited from the addition of semantic context.
Prevalence of Extracochlear Electrodes: Computerized Tomography Scans, Cochlear Implant Maps, and Operative Reports.
Jourdan T. Holder,David M. Kessler,Jack H. Noble,René H. Gifford,Robert F. Labadie,Robert F. Labadie +5 more
TL;DR: Postoperative CT scans can provide information regarding basal electrode location, which could help improve programming accuracy, associated frequency allocation, and audibility with appropriate deactivation of extracochlear electrodes.
