Do benefit from bimodal hearing in a group of prelingually deafened adult cochlear implant users?
Our results show that bimodal hearing offers some advantages in speech understanding in quiet and noise conditions also in prelingually deafened adults. Moreover, most of our patients reported advantages from bimodal hearing in localizing sound and in perceiving a more natural sound.
The studies to be included in meta-analyses, particularly comparing ACEIs and ARBs, should be chosen carefully.
