Asymmetrical Directionality With Bimodal Systems.

Research supports that bimodal stimulation includes improvements in auditory performance and daily living over using a cochlear implant (CI) or hearing aid (HA) alone. Although bimodal users continue to achieve high levels of satisfaction, speech perception in noise continues to be highly problematic. The aim of this field study is to identify which directionality schemes in a bimodal solution are preferred by users using an ecological momentary assessment tool.
