ClinConnect Summary
There are now many recipients of unilateral cochlear implants who have usable residual hearing in the non-implanted ear. To avoid auditory deprivation and to provide binaural hearing, a hearing aid or a second cochlear implant can be fitted to that ear. When bilateral cochlear implant cannot be used for patients with bilateral hearing impairment, a hearing aid can be used in their non- implanted ear with residual hearing. This is because patients with bilateral hearing loss need bilateral stimulation to develop the neural pathway required for central processing of binaural hearing.
